Lee Moore reso guitar

[Eric OHara]

Hi - anyone ever see one of these? I’m assuming a Dobro make, but was there ever a promo run of a Lee Moore guitar? Top of headstock is stamped 0108 and there a decal pic of Lee Moore on the back of the headstock as well. Thanks. Eric

Lee Moore was an artist that played The Wheeling Jamboree for many years. They were billed as Lee Moore and Juanita. Lee was also known as the Coffee Drinkin’ Night Hawk.
They had a number of early hits. The Cat Came Back was a big one for them. WWVA 1170 AM.

Cool guitar! Definitely looks like a '34 ish Regal, most of the companies back then would sell you a batch of Guitars with any logo you want on it.

This reminds me that 30+ years ago I worked with a gentleman named Loye Pack. He and I visited his parents home in Ponca Nebraska. There was a large poster on the wall of a chaps, boots and hat wearing guitar player. That's my grandpa he said.
Cowboy Loye Pack. His pal Hank Williams visited here several times. Loye wrote Grandpa Jones' hit song Rattler.
Loye was big on radio in York NE and Wheeling WV evidently.

Loye evidently worked the Wheeling Jamboree in 1937 and earlier and died in 1941. Lee Moore began there in 1951 so not closely related subject matter.
