(Before bOb moves this to No Peddlers...)
If it's a Model 45 or 55* in decent shape the big dealers might ask 1200-1500 assuming the neck angle is OK for Spanish playing and comes with a good ohsc. Private sales/eBay, probably a bit lower. I got a really nice (neck angle not really good for Spanish style) 55 for $800 about five years ago--an excellent deal. It gots de lug cone I loves!
*--(unbound bodies; 55 has a bound fb; don't think the 45 does; these came before the better-known 27/37/later-45, i.e., spruce-top models)

| Ya! What's the body like? They made several styles including metal-bodied guitars. |

Any way to post a photo? This would help a lot.
I have serial #1575.
Depending upon which resource you believe-mine could have been built in 1931, 1932, or 1933.
Prefacing the word "Dobro" should always be: "The convoluted history of the..."
Their record keeping was a little weird.
