It might be! I wonder what the yellowed stickers say on the right side?

It's an impeller mobile maid with white racks and blue interior.

I'd say it's a spray-arm model, not that that's

I think the impeller was long gone by 1964, and you can tell by the picture because even though the upper rack and silverware basket are the same as the ones used in the impeller Mobile Maids, the lower rack is the spray-arm variety. Still, this is a good dishwasher but I'd want to see whether it uses a detergent dispenser or that lame detergent "funnel" that they put on the BOL's.

Ken, I couldn't see any of the bottom rack in the photo so that's why I thought it was imipeller.

This is so BOL, it might not even have the full width wash arm, but a smaller abbreviated version with two short pipes that looked like a lawn sprinkler. This model was very difficult to load through the cutout in the upper rack. You had to load the lower rack from the outside in because there was not room to get something past a plate sticking up close to the center of the rack, but using that upper rack did eliminate the cost for the split upper rack with the front attached to the lid of the more expensive models. Speaking of the lid, you can't tell it from the picture but 5 will get you 10 it is an ugly white plastic lid that, when closed, extends to cover up the top of the front box (hence the unremoved labels) where the timer and the unicouple are. A family on my paper route had one and when the house was sold to an elderly lady, she said that she did not know how to use it. I looked at it with her, but for one person, loading it and moving it to the sink and all was too much work and she had washed by had all of her life. It was such a POS I was not interested in having it.

I doubt this is a BBB BOL because it has a Power Shower. Those were never put on extreme BOL's. Again, would need a close up look or series of pics before one put down that price.

The "bed of nails" lower rack confirms that this is a wash arm model, not an impeller model. The immpeller models had circular racks.

BOL

 Differences...

No auto detergent cup
Uni-couple is a bent rubber drain hose
No wash tower

Before this wash arm..as I remember.. it was trying to mimic a bow tie impeller. It looked like the arms were cut off with blunt ends and 2 large angled slits at the ends. I assume it created a fan spray. The bottom rack was a bed of pins, not a circular pattern as in the bow tie.
I remember seeing it in action with a plastic bubble dome....too bad they don't do that anymore. I guess no one would buy them if thay saw todays wash action...

I was not saying it was an impeller model, just speculating that it had the above-described shortened fan spray wash arm. It made me wonder what kind of terrible washing results the fan sprayer would give when so much of the lower rack would not get sprayed from underneath. The BOL model I saw did not have a bent hose for the drain. It had a white unicouple WITHOUT the stainless steel lever for coupling and uncoupling it from the faucet adapter; your fingers had to touch the hot metal ring that attached to the faucet adapter, just like this one.

that this is located in a store called "Earl's Place" and that its just around the corner from another place called "CARPET MANIA!!!" You gotta love that little piece of classic Americana right there. At least its not "around the corner, just past the Starbucks and the Subway".

and I LOVE this Dishwasher by the way!!! I can't imagine loading this being easy, though- do the upper racks lift out? Mine is the model after this where the racks raise up out of the way automatically ;-)
