| These resemble the Charlie Christian pickup (slightly different shaped housing) that Gibson installed in their early archtops, may be originals or reproductions. |

Only resemblance to a Christian pickup is the bar magnet. The casings on those had a very different shape and mounting.
Cases look "P-90 ish" but not with those mounting screws. Certainly unlike anything I ever saw Gibson produce.

Looks like a blade style pickup Bill Lawrence might have created, but not enough chrome.  |

Thanks for the answers , Bob , I appreciate your taking the time to respond. When I opened up the pickups , there is no writing or ID of any kind , the innards are exposed & well shielded & delicate , they do look like an older Lawrence design , pots have been changed to 250 indtead of 500's , keep trying , this guitar sat broken for at least 10 yrs. & were played for about the same .
