I was going through some stuff and came across this little bank. It came with a refrigerator my folks bought in about 1947. It's a little less than 4 inches tall and looks like the one they bought.
On the back it says Servel Electrolux. Notice how simple it is, just one door. Inside the real thing, the freezer compartment was just large enough for a couple ice trays, and maybe a gallon of ice cream. I think it had a light inside. I think it was my Mom's first refrigerator. I can clearly remember when we still had ice delivered.
Our refrigerator now is also an Electrolux. But, it's much larger with two doors and a bottom drawer, two ice makers, and filtered water in the door. And, it was made in Mexico, not the U.S. After six years, I've already replaced one ice maker and the water valve assembly. I don't remember my folks ever having any problems with theirs, and it lasted a long time.
