I wonder if they are the ones Godin (Canada) used on their "Radiator" guitar? The early ones actually had the metal slab down the middle as well but then changed to the look like the one posted.

Looks like the early HB.

I bought a set of those off of Ebay a couple of years ago. He was selling them as RIC humbuckers. They weren't and I was pi$$ed because he wouldn't take them back. :-(

Bill: I certainly wasn't surprised when the Radiator boiled over.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

It looks similar to some toaster copy pickups I got a few years ago ... except for the cover ... the ones I have are scatterwound singlecoil and have a single rail ... the toaster cover is 1/16" taller and very slightly wider and longer ... they sound pretty good ... they are a little hotter and louder than a real toaster ... the black plastic top looks identical ...
