Does anyone know about "Old" gas refrigerators.

That is strange indeed.
Can not really tell but it looks as if the gas line had been soldered on, maybe something soldered into the end of it as a plug.
I know noting about propane fridges but I would think that there should be a gas valve with a pilot position in it.
People with more wisdom than I on these matters might post in what they think is going on.
If all the components are there,If the fridge can be pulled out and moved to a safe location, then tested to see if it will light and cool.

Good plan on getting the fridge to someone that really knows them. There is no such thing as second guessing when it comes to propane or gas.

That is one cool fridge!!

Thank You! The refrigerator is a LEC Bogner Regis fridge, made in England in the 1950's. They made big refrigerators, but also small ones for medical use. The guys who started the Glendale Trailer Company in Canada were two brothers from England. It appears they imported these refrigerators the first year they made trailers and then switched to Dometic. When we bought the trailer we plugged in the fridge and it made ice. BUT... it was missing the shelves and the ice chest door. I searched high and low (even England) for months and could not find another LEC fridge or parts of this size.

Now here is a crazy true story... I woke up one day with a very strong thought to search my local kijiji (craigslist in Canada) for old fridges. I thought maybe I could cut down some old shelves from a different vintage fridge.  Low and behold, there was the exact fridge, except it was sitting on 1960's skinny legs in a guys garage. The EXACT fridge.
$100 later I had my shelves, freezer door, and a perfectly working back up fridge should my compressor ever fail. I did a happy dance.. lol!
Here is a brochure I was able to find. A guy from England sent it to me. So I have a cute ad, but I have never seen another trailer with this fridge.
