A chunky looking thing, it's dark blue with a 3/16" post:
Anybody know who made this? Part number? Availability date?

Steve,
That looks a lot like the International I posted elsewhere - it's black, but could have been dark blue...

Don,
Well, how 'bout that? Yes, I did see your post and yes it does look completely black on my laptop screen.
Okay! Right there on the chart; International part number 1144, January 1965 (6501).
The manufacturer's drawings make it look a lot skinnier. 
Thanks, Don...

It is of course the International pickup as used in black form on their rare RTR cars.

Philippe,
So there are TWO colors; dark blue and black.
For the record, the gudes are dyed. There was one in the Lone Wolf colection whose post had been cut short and drilled for a mounting screw; the nylon under the surface was white.

Found an International catalog and there's also the 1143 with 1/8" post...
