That's very nice; I'm guessing it's from between '57 and '59.

This dryer was check-rated by CU in their report on dryers. They were happy that dryer design had switched to lower heats and higher airflow from the earlier Hamilton design. This model is probably of the design where the drum is driven by one of the rollers underneath it and has the stationary drum back with the rectangular opening in it for the heat inlet. It would have the heating elements in a rectangular duct behind the drum, not strung through porcelain insulators in the sort of garbage-can-lid type reflector behind the one piece drum with the rotating back of mid 1959 onward.

I had this dryer in yellow, a very nice dryer. Very smooth running and reasonably fast for a GE. Tom's description of construction is spot-on, mine was a 57. I stripped the panel off one day in a fit of housecleaning and drove it to the recycling station. Just before driving off, I remembered I hadn't grabbed the lint filter and when I opened the door, there was a set of sheets I'd dried and forgotten to remove. It was a sign, I've regretted getting rid of it since!
