yes, my headplate looks just like that ... you can just make out the shape in the photo I posted, although you can't read it

thanks kindly for the info ... I didn't know they used older plates, but I've always wondered why my smaller pickup model had a seemingly older headplate logo!

thanks ... I suppose it's possible that the pot code I couldn't figure out might be from late '52 then, since it ends with '5212'

the other thing that throws me though, is the headplate logo has the old spelling: "Rickenbacher"

yes, it's a 1-1/4" pickup

I've owned this for about 20 years. I've always thought it was a Post War B6. However, I couldn't find any serial # or identifying number. I even checked the pots, but the date code didn't help me (24171-5 5212 ?). So, here is a pic: http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag117/gcarr2/Ricky01-sm_zps345...
