I need to incorporate that into my kitchen décor.

Hey old people, what's the approximate year of that fridge? 50's? 60's?
It would have been cool to use the era-appropriate Goldy logo.

Brettly from Rick's Restorations says in his tweet it's from the 50s? I'm heading to Vegas next week and may have to check that thing out in person [emoji1303]

Very awesome, with the exception of the abomination next to the handle.

I'm not old, but mid-60s for sure. I actually love the combo of new logo on old frig...

How much is it?

How much is it?

good question, guessing a customer explicitly commissioned them to do the restore so probably not for sale to the general public. Although I could be wrong, pretty high demand for Gopher 'fridges

the one time I was at their shop before they had lots of completed projects on display, some available to buy, some just for show as the customer hadn't yet picked them up

Everything has a price. I just may not be able to afford that price but I could start saving now!

I love it. I have an 80s vintage Amana in my garage. A little sandpaper and some rattle cans ought to do the trick.

I want one.

I have a couple of big Gopher magnets stuck to the freezer in my garage. Pretty much the same thing.

I think you are spot on. I did a quick (3 minute) search of Westinghouse refrigerator images and it physically resembles 1950 era models.
