In 1992 my youngest brother & myself bought a house together, equal shares. Our financial resources were somewhat stretched as our aim was to pay off the mortgage ASAP and wed couldn’t afford a fridge. A friend of my brother said we could have his old fridge free provided we didn’t change the colour.
Deal accepted.
The device arrived, it was a 1935 upright refrigerator with a tiny internal freezer section and it was still in perfect working order.
Being so old of course meant defrosting was a manual process, but it did its job for five years before being replaced.

The colour I mentioned earlier? Purple, a very deep purple.
