At our church's summer camp, we have this dryer that works amazingly well for its age. What can you tell me about it? I have attached a picture of the console as well as the model and serial number plate. |

I can tell you that it is probably from the late 60's. The washer that matched it was a solid tub one. |

This wasn't part of the "Lady Executive" line was it? I couldn't believe how quiet it ran and how quickly it dried. I wish the matching washer was with it, it's paired up with a newer Speed Queen washer. |

Would be my best guess, based on the dryer plate and the information at this website. The DLB1100 does show up in a 1970 Hotpoint catalog that I have, so the model could have been built for several years.

This is a GE clone from one of the first years they "assimilated" Hotpoint washers and dryers. There was a recent post here with the same dryer that was for sale on one of the internet sites. It's a real Silhouette control panel/backsplash spliced onto a standard capacity GE dryer. A real Taylor Avenue Hotpoint Silhouette dryer would be at least 31" wide; this one looks very 27". Also, unlike the even earlier dryer pictured below, this one has a GE knob on the control dial.
