Rare 1920s Leonard Icebox – Original Factory "Blue-Gray" Porcelain Enamel – Pristine Condition.
Description:
Selling an incredibly rare, museum-grade 1920s Leonard Icebox manufactured by the famous Grand Rapids Refrigerator Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Unlike the common oak cabinets or clinical stark white models of the era, this premium unit features the highly sought-after, original factory "Blue-Gray" porcelain enamel armor coating.
This pale ice-blue tint is entirely original and beautifully preserved.
It makes a stunning historic statement piece, a unique home bar, or a high-end kitchen focal point!
Features & Details:
* Rare Factory Color: Finished in Leonard's signature "Blue-Gray" porcelain-enamel panels with original riveted metal trim. The finish is glossy and completely unpainted.
* Pristine Interior: Features the famous, seamless white porcelain "Cleanable" lining with virtually no major chipping—an incredible survival rate for its age.
* Solid Brass Hardware: Heavy cast-brass "slam latches" and corner hinges showcasing the original intertwined "CHL" (Charles H. Leonard) monogram crest.
All pieces bear a gorgeous, authentic golden patina.
* 100% Complete: Includes all 3 original woven wire-mesh food shelves and the heavy, wavy ice chamber floor rack.
* Historical Provenance: The original factory paper label is still intact on the back door, displaying the 1920s Good Housekeeping Institute "Tested and Approved" Star Seal (Serial No. 286) and original care instructions.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition.
The porcelain is exceptionally clean, and the spring-loaded latches click shut tightly.
It shows light, honest patina and wear along the bottom frame as expected for a century-old survivor.
* Price: $650 (Cash)
* Location: Plainview
* Pickup: Local pickup only. This is a solid, heavy vintage piece built with thick insulation and steel paneling. Please bring an extra set of hands and a truck, van, or large SUV for transport!
