This is an ACMA brand refrigerator that was likely manufactured in the 1980s. Household products such as the refrigerator became common beginning from the 1960s due to rising affluence of families, widespread advertising and increased availability of electricity with more Singaporeans moving into HDB homes. The refrigerator was one of the first kitchen appliances that families would buy for the practical reason of prolonging the lifespan of food products in the tropical climate.
