That's a GE Mobile Maid, but I've never seen a silverware basket designed with individuals removable cells.

Interesting to see a Penncrest product from that early--this must have been one of the first from the 63-64 timeframe. I do see advertising for Penncrest appliances in the 1967 timeframe, but that ad spoke of a "washtower"...presuming that was the successor to this (evidently) impeller system. I still think this is earlier than "late 60s" given the color scheme (seems to me GE converted from pink/peach to blue at about the time they moved to the spray arm/tower design)

Didn't Hotpoint have the 'modular' cutlery basket in their higher-end 58 and 59 models or am I dreaming?

And in the ephemera library this is shown to be a 1963/4 dishwasher.
