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 |
