How to ID Gibson PUP's

[loudriver23]

I have some gibson Pup's I tore out of a poorly made guitar. I don't really need them anymore and want to sell them. I don't know how to ID them, or where to input the PAT # to make the determination.
I have one PAF looking PUP and one Mini Pup.
Please, any help would be great.
Thanks.

Does the PAF have the actual "PAF" Sticker on the Bottom???

Is the Mini a Mini Humbucker or Soap Bar ???

Single Leads ?????

The bottom of the PUP's don't have a sticker, but they do have a gibson Patent #.
And the Mini HB is just that, not a soapbar. I believe it's a 4 conductor pup, but I might be mistaken on that. I'll have to take a closer look when I get home.

The PAF is actually not a " PAF " then.
If it has a patent # it is post 1962, and is just a Gibson Humbucker.
Still, it's a very cool pickup. ( does it have a single cloth Lead, or is it 4 conductor? ) Also, are the spacers wood????????
It would be hard to put a date on it without actually seeing it.
It could be mid to late 60's , again, it's hard to say without actually seeing the pickup.

My guess on the Mini would be late 60's to sometime in the 70's.
