Some quick tips:

Pre-war:

1-1/2" width magnets
small shield logo headstock: Rickenbacher Electro
There will probably be a s/n stamped into end of headstock (letter/up to four numbers)
Strings through body (continues into postwar era also)

Post-war:

Large T-shaped aluminum headstock logo Rickenback(h)er (horizontal) Electro (vertical)
"Ashtray" headstock cover
1-1/4" magnets
Usually no s/n
Tailpiece (I don't think there were tailpieces on pre-war Bakelites)

Other stuff is just more easily determined by looking, so don't dawdle on those pics...
