Stu-I am fairly sure that your Dobro is a model F-60 made by the OMI company when they made Dobros before the line was sold to Gibson-your guitar is probably 1980's vintage

Paul:Thanks so much...I looked at a Dobro site that had serial numbers but it was confusing,I thought that it might be from the 80's,Take Care ,Stu

Sound like it's from 1985, based on this serial number scheme.
