That lap steel is a Gretsch Electromatic Hawaiian model produced ca.1940-43.
It was arguably the company's first electric instrument and the only lap steel that was actually produced by Gretsch. All of the other Gretsch models were made by Valco.
These things sound great through good tube amps.

I stand corrected, based on information from the Steelguitar Forum.
