NOT Shaws bro. The "T" on the plastic bobbin means they are classic Gibson "t-tops"which all T-tops possess, howveevr the etched serial number, "2737.."denotes that they are later T-tops, from late 70's /early 80's. The older T-tops with the patent sticker"2737..". are the most desirable ones from the 60's. Not that Jimmys pickups arent desirable, cause they are. I have a later etched T-top in the neck of my '80 SG and its a nice sounding pickup IMHO.
I don't know excatly how to determine Shaws. I think there is both Stcker and etching. Dunno.

Shaws I've seen pics of have a date "stamp" in pretty bold black lettering-like many of the early to mid 80s Dirty Fingers- I've had a pair myself way back when, but never pulled them for a look-see
Good luck on the sale- I wish I could swing it myself.
Shaws are also a little bit higher in output and darker sounding than a T-Top.
