Wow, Michael, What an awesome collection!
I also have the Rogue I converted to a lap sitar and my old Electar Model M, but those aren't usually in my hands much at all.

My Temblay with a Lollar pickup.

Late Forties(?) Orpheum. Lights under the fretboard.
Yup. Two cords; one to the amp, the other to a 120 volt wall outlet. Just set it on your lap, and be careful!

Nice bunch of steels. A few questions.
Jean-Sebastien love the look of the Timblay wood frypan.
John anymore info on the Orpheum? I've seen them on ebay before and didn't know they were form the 40's. Any recordings of it?
Lynn love the green color of the steel who made it?
Thanks Dennis

Dennis,
No more info on the Orpheum. It could have been a name that was owned by a distributor, as there were Orpheum banjos and other instruments. I bought it off ebay years ago. I thought the use of plastics was just too cool! After the War, manufacturers were looking for other uses for the plastics they had developed for the military. It's really quite a lovely guitar! The pickup honks! Looks kinda like a really obese old Tele pickup.

I thought I was decadent, all the sudden I feel pretty normal compared to C.E.

Yes, there is some serious steel guitar porn in this thread! 
I thought I had a lot of nice, old stuff, but my dozen or so steel guitars and a half-dozen amps are nothing compared to all this.
