| Judging from the pickup, it looks like a pre-war model. |

| Yet from the nameplate it looks post-war. Plus the pickup is missing the chrome bracket thingy that attaches to the body. I'm in need of a 1.5" horseshoe pickup to replace one stripped off my guitar by the prior owner. Is this one worth it without the mounting bracket? |

I beg to differ. This looks like a post-WWII instrument to me. First, I'm quite sure it is a 1.25" pickup. An 1.5" pickup fills the body cavity--I just checked mine twice--, this one doesn't, by about 1/4" I'd say. Second, that is definitely a post-WWII nameplate on the headstock.
Note that the loose parts shown in one of the photos have nothing to do with this guitar.
That's my assessment based on the photos.. |

If the price is right to you the magnet would be good to get if it is the same width and thickness as yours. It would be easy to make a mounting plate from white or black pickgaurd material, making an exact copy would take some "specialized" metal work to do the raised area immediatly surrounding the pickup.
Arent all the 1-1/2" magnets more squared off on the edges or are some a little rounded like the photos appear to be? |
