Prestcold Refrigeration Commercial Guarantee Card Dated 8th June 1949 Fridge.

Prestcold was a British refrigerator manufacturer, established by the Pressed Steel Co. Ltd of Oxford in 1934. It manufactured both domestic and commercial refrigeration equipment.

Through its history, it was closely related to automotive manufacturing, particularly that of Morris Motors and successor British Leyland. Refrigerators were originally produced alongside car bodies at the Pressed Steel facility built for Morris, adjacent to the Morris factory.

The company closed in 1990.

This is a guarantee card for a refrigerator installed in Liverpool in 1949. This would have been a big event as statistics show that in 1948 only 2% of UK households owned refrigerators.

Nice little piece of domestic social history.
