#B prefix or suffix #1931-1932 (most Cyclops wood models) The numbers below are a general guide, and are not reliable for dating the instrument solely on the serial number. No factory serial number records are available. Serial numbers are stamped into the top of the peghead. Serial numbers for metal body Dobros very scarce. Also I don't have any 1937 to 1942 Dobro serial number info. So you can see the serial number info below is not 100% reliable and the information below applies mostly to wooden body resonator Dobro guitars. But no metal body Dobro existed before 1935.
According to the list below it should be 1930. For example I own a Dobro metal body M-62 with the serial number 1832. Note the 1929 to 1937 serial number info is not very accurate. #I believe it's from a Vintage Guitars website here's () the link.ġ929 to 1937 Dobro Serial numbers by M.Cass. This is the best info I could find on Dobro serial numbers.
