Thanks for the measurement. Stimer was a brand from the mid 40's until the 80's or 90's. They also made accordion pickups and tube amps.

If I understand correctly, by the 90's (?) the company was dormant, then Dupont registered the "Stimer" trademark and begins to make copies. The original family was upset about the brand name being opportunistically taken like that, and also that the new pickups being produced under the Stimer name were not great.

I thought that last picture was a museum display somewhere. I was going to ask where it was from, but it just appears to be a color (or colorized) version of the same show as the middle pic. Neat stuff.
