Can anyone identify this Dobro?

I can't tell from the photo if it's a squareneck or a roundneck. The angle of the tuning pegs seems to indicate squareneck. Does anyone know what make it is or have any other info? Thanks

It looks like a Model 19 Regal or an Angelus, with a round neck and no soundwell. I have one. Sweet tone but not all that loud.

Thanks Herb, do you think it's a recent "import" (Korean) or an older guitar?

It's an old one, Doug. The Model 19 was the budget-model Dobro, small-bodied with no soundwell, as Herb says. These were worth having for what they could be picked up for even a couple of years ago, but with the escalation of prices the past while, most of the ones I've seen recently have sold for way more than their use value, in my estimation.
Pretty basic instruments.

Ian, that's a very appropriate term "use value." I'm going to remember that one.
