Das ist, was Mark Makin (einer der Top Spezialisten, was Dobro, National etc) zum Thema Hound Dog schreibt (im Michael Messer Forum):
"1950s - Ed and Rudy made some guitars under the DB ORIGINAL label. The logo is blue and yellow with stars on it and a diagonal banner with the word ORIGINAL in it.
1962 - In El Monte California, DB ORIGINALS were made in greater numbers. Shield had ORIGINAL vertically down it between the letters DB. These guitars like the Uncle Josh and the Deacon Brumfield have a very similar look to the later Mosrite guitars. They were distributed by Standel.
1965.January - production is now in Gardena, CA.
1966. - Semie Mosely of Mosrite acquires Dobro. 100 or so DB ORIGINALS are branded with Mosrite Dobro metal logos. Most made at Mosrites factory in Bakersfield.
1966. - Ed and Rudy Dopyera carry on with resonators but now cannot use the Dobro name. Instruments are called REPLICA 66s. These have plastic coverplates and the Dobro fan patterns are reversed with the curves of the fan outwards.
1967 - OMI is formed in Gardena and their brand name is HOUND DOG. The first logo shows the Hound Dog looking at a 3/4 angle with a guitar neck over its head.
1968-71. - The hound Dog logo looks straight ahead with the words ORIGINAL HOUND DOG over the dogs head.
1970 - Rights to the Dobro name were reacquired. They carried on using the Hound Dog name for a time and even introduced the DOPERA ORIGINAL name and logo for metal bodied guitars.
1993 - Gibson acquired OMI and changed it to the OAI division. (Original Acoustic Division) in 1997. Production moved to NAshville.
2000 - Modern Hound Dog logos are similar but the word ORIGINAL is not underlined."
Danach müsste deine Gitarre zwischen 1968 und 1971 von OMI gebaut worden sein. Hier ein neueeres Model, wo das Wort "Original" im Logo nicht unterstrichen ist:
