Hi, all. I have another mystery that folks here might be able to help with. I have a metal body Dobro (DM 33H). The serial number stamped in the peghead is:

B  233  9

This doesn't match any of the listed schemes. The first letter is definitely a B and not an 8.

Any ideas?

Cool guitar

The B means metal body or style

The 233 instrument made that year ( probably in that style), but they started the year with the number 101 and 001.

 

The last number is the year.

Might be from 1979.

I forget what they called that patter, it's not the Hawaiian pattern or the Lilly pattern. Might be the Rose Pattern

 

The necks do come off the guitar, exact dates might be on the neck. Don't mess anything up doing it.
