What information are you exactly looking for?
Particularly the age etc. I am having a hard time finding anything about it and the style/layout of the compartments I have not found online or anything. It is a large unit, over 73" tall and it has to be over 500 lbs.
You don't show the inside. Is it insulated properly, have ice pan, plumbing, drip pan underneath etc. ?
I agree with Blunderbuss2, the interior material, removable shelves etc all speak for the age of the unit.
Ok I have added more pics. Had to lessen the original resolution for the upload to work. There is a drain on the bottom. The inside is porcelain as you can see. It is in beautiful condition even though a few screws were replaced and there is one shelf clip missing inside. I appreciate everyone's comments!
OK, that is better. This box is probably not that old. It could have been in production as recently as the 1950's. I am still researching it as Iceland ice boxes are quite a few on the Internet. I think I found the manufacturer but not positive. We had one when I was growing up in Vermont. No electric in the house so it was an icebox and finger lamps. I won't mention the outhouse. The not so fun good old days.
Doesn't appear to be a real early one to me either.
