I was at the natural history museum in NYC recently and came across this beauty.
I think it might be a Gibson.

Portable diddley bow. Head tension set to 89 with a Drum Dial per Gibson specs (pre-bluegrass).

if it is a diddly bow it is before it got ''squared up'' and adorned with a couple of p 90s --but it would have been better to bring out the clave beat
