Originality / Modification Notes:
• Vintage Gibson Patent Sticker pickup as represented

✨ Condition

Good Vintage Condition - MODIFIED

The pickup shows normal vintage aging, including possible scratches, oxidation, tarnishing, solder evidence, lead-wire wear, and general patina .

Most importantly:

⚠️ BOTH COILS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

Because of this, the pickup should be considered a modified/recoiled vintage Gibson Patent Sticker pickup , rather than an untouched original example. Without documentation or closer inspection, I would avoid claiming exactly when, why, or by whom the coil work was performed.

Electrically, the pickup currently provides a good 7.85KΩ resistance reading .
