The good news is that it is indeed from 1991, an OMI Dobro made in southern California, before Gibson took over.

It is not a Jerry Douglas model, those came along several years later under the ownership of Gibson, and the manufacturing was moved to Nashville.

Regardless, that is a fine looking instrument.

To clarify a point, yes, as a 1991 model, it's too early to be a Jerry Douglas Model, but the JD Model started in Huntington Beach not long after the Gibson takeover (1993). Very few HB-era models continued to be made after the long and trouble-fraught shift from SoCal to Tennessee, but the Jerry Douglas Model was one.
