Late 40's (1946-1948) Gibson P90 dogear pickup without cover.
Most likely this pickup came off a Gibson ES-125, and after spending an afternoon googling pictures from late 40's ES-125, my educated guess is it's a 1947 part.
The main distinctive feature for this era are the fixed slug pole pieces. Adjustable pole pieces were introduced in 1948. Also the triangular baseplate "ears" came that way from the factory.
Bobbin lead wires "should" be cloth covered, so they appear to be replaced. I'm not an expert on this pickups, so please do your homework. Pickup works fine, no issues, and reads 7.89K ohms. Lead wire is almost 10 inches long.
DOGEAR COVER NOT INCLUDED.
