I was born in 1949, and I can remember getting electricity on the farm, so it was probably 1953 or so when mom got a fridge. The compressor was on top, no cover, and mounted on floppy springs. It bounced all over the place when it torqued on. Entertaining for a little kid.

Mom never owned a chest type freezer - she canned everything, including meat. They'd butcher then take the quarters to a local locker/cold storage plant so she wouldn't be overwhelmed trying to can it up.

The ice box was the first thing to go when the lights came on. . .

Sounds primitive, but I think of that period as the good old days.
