Can anyone help me to identify this pickup cover?
I was told that it is a pickup cover for a Fender Lap steel guitar from the 1960's
Can anyone venture a guess.
Thanks for any help.

I'd guess it's a pickup cover for a Fender steel guitar from the 1960s. 
Why?

Good guess Brad!! 
A few weeks back I was in Nashville and went to an auction where they auction various lots of personal and commercial property that has been left in storage rental facilities.
I came upon a box of guitar / steel pickups, pick up covers, small parts,etc.
This cover does not fit any of the 8 string pickups that were in the lot. It is much smaller than the actual pickups that I bought.
A friend had told me it was likely from an early 60's fender lap ... I thought that some here may have a more "educated" guess than my buddy was able to come up with  |

My foggy memory recalls this as a cover for a Fender Pedal 400 or 1000 from the early 60s.

You can be sure it's from a 400 or 1000.. the cover has a recess for the blade type of extra magnetic poles.
