Hi guys, help needed please. I have a metal Dobro with Hawaiian pattern etched onto chrome finish. I think the model is a H33 but not sure. The serial number is D1020840. Thanks for looking, any help identifying Year of manufacture etc most appreciated. Regards Kev.

Mine is 

D 12 387 92 B

which means

D= the Style  ( like H33 with a round neck)

12 month

397 instrument built that year

Year manufactured was 1992

B= is a metal body

The last 2 digitals on yours makes no sense to me.

I have one of these too.

Pay not much for it new, right around at the Gibson take over. I have no idea what the serial number is, but I could look at it.

Nobody in TN wanted a round neck Dobro, but a guy from Massachusetts did.

Nothing like a white kid trying to play da blues.

I have a few slide too.
