Hudson Terraplane hubcap diddley bow with an Elmar pickup. Long scale, 26 inches. Made so I did not have to drill into the top of the hubcap. Sounds real good plugged in.

Thanks guys. I plan to keep this one. It looks great on the wall and has history, legend and spirit. I don't play diddley very often, but it will get played now and then.
The Elmar does sound super good. The long scale is forgiving and easy to play. That cap is thick and heavy. I expected poor acoustic sound and volume, but it surprised me and is pretty decent.

Looks Great and a instant classic Fine Build
I now have 4 pretty good diddleys. One was made by Pick. I will keep the Pick Diddley and the Terraplane and see if I can pass on the other two.
