You'd have to stick an ammeter on it, but I bet a 50s fridge is pretty efficient because they are manual defrost only. Most modern full-size fridges are auto defrost – essentially they suck down electricity to heat up the cooling system. The efficiency gains over a couple decades ago are due to moving from fixed, mechanical timers to computer controlled adaptive defrosters.
