The other find acouple of yrs later was an old gas powered refrigerator.
the brass plate on the front said By Royal appointment to his majesty
the king.
That had to be George the 6th. So it had to be 1937 to 1952
I struggled to get it onto the roof rack got it home and put some
propane to it. Lit it up and its still working today.
Electrolux have identified it from its serial no as 1939..
They want it for their museum in Sweden.


Could this also have been the Swedish King?


Its a possibility, but unlikely.
The fridgewas made in Luton Bedfordshire UK, not in sweden.
Ive taken a look at the royal crest? thats between the words appointment
and to, its very small and could be a lion on the left and a un icorn
on the right with the royal flag in between.

Hope this helps
Ted.
