Looking for information on international Harvester refrigerators. When were they manufactured. Also if anyone knows a good place to look if I want to purchase one. Thanks
 
They were produced in the early 1950's and maybe a year or two before 1950 and after 1955. They appear frequently on this site in the
classified or photo ad sections for sale. They are quite heavy and not very energy efficient in relation to currently produced units. Don't
know about availability of common replaceable parts like interior items, handles, door seals, etc. My grandparents had both a refrigerator
and a freezer which lasted for decades while my wife's parents had a refrigerator which were purchased new during that time period.
 
Maybe they wern't very efficient,but they lasted 40 plus years, they were made in Evansville Indiana, the factory is still there, and now producing The Whirlpool brand, is what i been told.

Very good. Thank you for the info. I believe that the compressor can be changed out with a newer one that would draw less amps to make it more efficient. I found a deep freezer that is very beautiful. Looking for its partner. Freezer is very heavy too. Thanks
 
Fastfarmall brings up an interesting question on one's view of efficiency. Is it more efficient to keep an appliance 40 years that uses a little more electricity or to replace it every 10 - 12 years with one that is more efficient? Me, I rather keep the old as I am lazy and hate to go through the effort of the replacement process. Plus my time is valuable.
 
everything today is made to brake down and throw away every 5 years , were in a throw-away-society today . remember the good old days when stuff lasted 40 years
