SHTB1-
I bought this thinking it was a PATB1. It is a SH1 OR (59B) in parallel axis design with trembucker spacing. It sounds kinda like my c5 but more vintage and less output. It is brand new w/ tons of lead wire and only installed for about 10 minutes tops. Comes in original box.
$60 with shipping in the US.

Almost forgot. I am looking for a Nickel covered RIO BBQ bridge pickup
I am willing to trade 1 of these.

So the SHtB1 is like a '59 bridge model but with trembucker spacing and parallel axis design? How much like a '59 does it sound? I'm very curious.

I have only had a 59 neck before this so I am not totally sure. It does sound like what a 59 is described as. The name SHTB1 lends me to beleive it is a 59 trembucker and it looks exactly like the parallel axis types. I own all 3 parallel axis pickups and compared them and it does not sound like any of them. It comes the closest to my C5 but has less gain. I have a pic. I tried to list the pic here but it wouldnt let me? I can email it to you though.

the TB-1 59er is the same thing as the SH-1 59b only has the wider spacing for OFR's :)

But this has the weird rectangular parallel axis pole pieces as well, does it not?

Yes it looks exactly like the patb1, 2, 3
I heard Duncan makes alot of pickups with this design if ordered that way. It is his prefered design as the poles are on either side the strings and the magnetic feild does not inhibit the strings natural vibration. I fin the parralel axis pickups to be meatier than the equivalant regular style. I am not sure if it is a 59? All I know is the box that it came in says SHTB1 and the pickup is brand new. I installed it in the bridge and then in the neck. I have a patb1 bridge and neck and it does not sound like either. It sounds like a 59 to me.
