Re: Antique Polar Bear Refrigerator

This site https://www.justanswer.com/antiques/7r3k1-antique-icebox-metal-engraved-plate.html Has this info “Your Antique oak Icebox would have been produced Circa 1900 by the Polar Bear Refrigerator Company in Barbaraville, Illinois. The antique oak ice box in excellent condition would carry a retail value of 450-600 dollars. If there is any internal damage unseen in the photo, this would detract from the resale value. These usually sell anywhere between 225-350 in secondary market settings such as auctions.”

Re: Antique Polar Bear Refrigerator

I'd need to see more detailed images, values for these depend a great deal on size ,condition and wood type. They were very prone to dry rot, which can cost more to repair than they are currently worth.
