I can't really tell from the available album covers, pictures, and videos. I know that they were resonators, and at least one was an archtop. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

The banjo on the right with the original tone ring belonged to Obray. The one on the left belonged to Bascom Lamar Lunsford
