First time messin' with a dobro - of sorts

Bob Mainwaring · From: Qualicum Beach Vancouver Island B.C. Canada

I tried an old friend's warped/altered old cheap guitar that was tuned to a straight G chord which he offered me as a gift at the end of a night of laughing & pickin' & grinnin'.This was the first time in my life ever, of listening to the sounds of what I was getting out of that old bucket.
For the regular steel guitars over the years, I've always made my own bars of various diameters and lengths but I ended up with buying one of those dobro bars that has that weird shape with the radioused grooves on both sides and on the top - the length is 2.3/4" by 7/8" deep to the raised shoulders which is quite a lot shorter than I'm usally used to.
I'm curious as to what the flattened 1/8" round rivet-type piece is at one end.......would anyone know?? Confused

All Z.B.est.

I think that little round bit is an artefact of the manufacturing process, during the plating process it's got to be held somehow.
