This morning on eBay I saw this photo for sale.  What caught my attention was obviously the dishwasher but I was curious to know the brand.  The upper rack sure looks like a Waste King or Thermador but I don't recall ever seeing a lower rack in WK or Thermador with this configuration.

 

They did have one where the dishes were placed in kind of circle but it wasn't like this.  This looks more like an impeller machine and I don't think the Waste King was.  I think it had a wash arm.

 

Is anyone familiar with this one?

The lower rack is screaming D&M...  Could be a 60s model of a Kelvinator, Caloric, or Admiral (all rebadges made by D&M).

Great picture. I wonder how many dishes and pots they washed by hand after loading the dishwasher?

Did D&M make an impeller machine?

With the way the plates are loaded, it looks like it's an impeller machine.

 

 

Edit: (oops, I stated what was already noted)

Hey, maybe THIS is Betty Draper's dishwasher from her old house in Ossining, NY...  (ducks and runs from flying plates....)

No stainless interior would rule out WK/TD, wouldn't it?

 

I think Nate or another member recently mentioned another manufacturer that used the curly top tines.

Could be WK

I'm not sure if they made an impeller machine, but they did use Plastisol into the mid-sixties before becoming exclusively stainless steel. The early WK spray arm models had plastisol interiors (including many of the two arm machines).

It's an impeller machine.  Could be Kelvinator or the 1960 BOL WP that was produced by D&M.
