Can someone tell me a bit about it and perhaps an age? It looks like it could be a Silhouette, but it doesn't say anywhere on the panel. It's incredibly quiet, and dries fast!

I have a 1968 Hotpoint catalog and it does not indicate that at that time Hotpoint had yet switched to the standard GE cabinet/door that this one has (the address on the catalog still is "West Taylor Street, Chicago").  I also have a 1970 catalog which DOES show this cabinet for the dryers, but not this exact console layout.  A very similar model in 1970 is the DLB1600L (1970 catalog also gives the Hopoint address as "Appliance Park, Louisville".

 

Maybe this helps.

I Think

That is a GE built dryer, the Chicago Hotpoints have a different style door, and are NOT quiet when they get old, the ones I have seen, while being very good dryers, go THUMP THUMP THUMP!!!
 
It's a GE dryer with an interesting backsplash

If you go to Ephemera, you'll see this model in the 1969/1970 sheets. The Taylor Avenue "design" dryer was trashed at the end of 1968 and GE put Hotpoint Silhouette styled backsplashes on GE standard and big-door dryers. It was the beginning of the end. The Silhouette backsplashes were so cool; they screamed "Jet Age" and always reminded me of the stuff we saw at the 1964 World's Fair when all things seemed possible.
