2. Wall-hung GE Refrigerator

Retro Renovation

This refrigerator actually hung right up on the wall and looks like cabinets, but it’s actually a fridge. Instead of being long and tall like they are today, they were actually aligned straight across.

Etsy

It’s definitely a little intimidating to look at, but it sure was a great tool for cutting delicate cakes back in the day!

4. Flour, Sugar, and Tea Canisters

Etsy

You could find anything you needed in one of these vintage canisters. You won’t believe how much these vintage canisters can go for on eBay these days.

5. Butter Molds

Etsy
