Old refrigerators are not collectable? I guess you better tell that to the people that are paying thousands of dollars for restored GE montitor-top and older Fridgidaires.

Old cook stoves as well as the early electric refrigerators sell for high dolllars. There are several companies that restore them, and have waiting lists with clients that have ordered them.

In regard to engergy usage - I think you'd be surprised how much hype is involved with the claims of higher efficiency with newer appliances. I have tested many. I just got done checking total current draw on a new chest freezer -with the highest efficiency rating. Ran it for three months - and the compared it to my older International Harverster freezer - made in 1948. Very little difference in current draw.
The old 1948 IH freezer uses 560 KWh per year. The new high efficiencly freezer which is smaller uses 426 KWh per year - sitting in cool basement. Energy Star rates it at 313 KWh per year.
