Antique Early 1900s Ranney Wooden Oak Ice Box Refrigerator w/ Original Interior

Description

Vintage Ranney Refrigerator Lapland Oak Ice Box 4 Doors, Original Interior. Here's a stunning
four-door ice box from the early 1900s. It’s made of solid oak
with paneled doors and sides, so it's built like a brick. It has
its original tin-lined interior. It has heavy cast brass hinges and latches, and a Lapland name plate, indicating it was part of the Lapland line of ice boxes produced by Ranney Refrigerator Co. in Greenville, Mich., around the turn of the last century.   You don't find many of these ice boxes with
original
interior showing rudimentary insulation, before refrigerators came along.
This is the Rolls-Royce of ice boxes and will be a conversation
piece
in any home.
Back in the day, it's large tin-lined storage compartment held blocks of ice, keeping the lower section cold for food. Today, it’s a great antique, collectible and conversation piece that can be used as a wine or liquor cabinet.
Durable and solid, this piece was professionally refinished more than 40 years ago and remains in wonderful vintage condition without any real defects. The
brass hardware (with
Ligonier logo)
shows light tarnish after all these years.
Doesn't have a drip pan. Overall, incredible condition rarely found with these pieces of history. I've had it in my dining room for four decades. (A smoke-free house.)  Local pickup only in
