My freezer is the same way; it's a 1942 Westinghouse (in my kitchen;
used daily) -- just a little metal shelf that doesn't really hold
anything more than an ice cube tray. Anything that isn't metal or glass
won't freeze. I have an upright freezer in the cellar. They may not
have been popular back then; but I know that my grandmother has had her
same basement upright freezer since the 1950s-1960's. The coils are
built into the shelves, and the interior walls are baby-blue in color.
