I was checking out Dobros on ebay and came across one with this weird logo.
http://web03.instrumentexchange.com/zoom-photo.asp?list_id=997271 Anyone know the story on this? Oh, also is there any kind of archive where you can look up a serial number of a Dobro and find out the year and type? -Tim |

The extra row of holes in coverplate suggest Mosrite as the maker. However the over-sized screens, while suggesting post-war (new dies), do not look like Mosrite to me. The label is unlike anything I've ever seen. I don't think the Dopyeras would have used the Dobro name while Mosrite owned the rights, so I'm wondering if this is early post-war, before Mosrite acquired the Dobro name.

Thanks Byran. I'll bookmark those sites. Here's a link to the item description. The seller says it's from the 1980's.
