Could not tell what the main amperage was. Anybody know?
All branch circuits worked on inside of residence. Seems like an older panel....What would be a correct write up?

Looks like on old pushmatic. Does not appear to have a main disconnect. Is this a sub panel? Based on the number of circuits, I would say this is a 60 amp panel. I do not see a grounding bus, is this an ungrounded system?

The service capacity cannot be determined with the info you have provided, but Mike is probably close. These panels were generally rated for 60 amps. The determining factors in this case are the SEC's and the panel listing.
This is an original panel to the residence, and likely to be insufficient for modern conveniences.
