Victor company history
Preserved background
is best remembered for manufacturing "Roll Top" counter coolers.
Victor, located in Hagerstown, Maryland, began as a commercial refrigeration builder in the 1920's. Victor also produced a few upright "cup" dispencers in the mid 1950's. It was in 1957 when Victor merged with Narco, Inc. of Chattanooga, Tennessee to become Dixie-Narco, Inc. located in Ranson, West Virginia.
What the machine archive shows
Evidence by model and date
The dated archive currently runs from Victor C-14 (1950's) through Victor 962-L (Early 1960's). It contains 32 model records, 32 with recorded production dates and 26 with surviving model-specific photography.
The documented production footprint is distributed across 1950s (28), 1960s (4). These totals describe this archive—not necessarily the company’s complete output—and will change if additional period records are recovered.
