I remember, we had one of these, and those and those ...

We had a "fridge" like the one on the right, it was a Frigidaire, of that I am sure, not sure if this is one of them or not. Seems like ours was larger. We might even have had it until 1943 when we moved and got a new one. On Brown street, many of our neighbors  still got ice delivered. I think that portion at the bottom was for the motor and the refrigeration unit. It held milk in glass bottles, this water pitcher, oddly enough, found it on Google, we had lost the stopper though. I think we later learned that it was made with something harmful and we got rid of it.

The old Philco, pictured here, sat in our living room much of my life and ended up in a bedroom upstairs. I spent many hours listening to this radio. It had a few "shortwave" channels also. Heard my first music from London on it, London Symphony as I recall, and heard much news of the war, from England. I remember hearing some live broadcasts with bombing going on in the background.

I think the top know was for tuning the dial, which lit up, one was off and on, one volume, and the other for choosing which of the bands or wavelengths it played.

The speaker was gigantic and was behind most of that cloth area. They were later used for "hifi" when it became popular, as a base speaker.

I've spent many an hour in front of one of these, same one.
