Old Frigidaire Wins Prize for Longevity in North America
Henry Willcox Jr 81 in September preserves a 1927 Frigidaire in Earlville long valued at novelty. The appliance tied for third in a contest for the oldest Frigidaire in North America and earns a new refrigerator worth about 1000 dollars, uninstalled. The family still uses two other fridges and a freezer while recalling dairy and farm life from decades past.

Frigidaire MP-12 recalled for durable vintage kitchen relic
Henry and Ann Willcox preserve a 1927 Frigidaire MP-12 refrigerator kept in original form with wooden frame and stainless exterior. They bought it decades ago, have made few repairs, and cite its reliability, noting occasional rubber belt changes and a 30 year old motor replacement as the main updates while avoiding relocation due to its weight.
