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!
Check out the Hotpoint dryer in use at our local campsite

Help Support :
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.

Next time I'm there I'll have to get the model number off of the machine.
Thank you so much for the research though

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.
