Fender Bass Pick cover ( AKA Ashtray) Certainly originally from a PRE CBS bass and in excellent condition for its age. It has the small screw holes that are associated with Pre CBS ownership of Fender and more importantly the unique finish on the underside (see photo) due to their Chroming method at that time. The shape of the end pieces are different than normal, slightly more square. This could date this into the 1950’s or possibly an experimental change. i have consulted several experts and only opinion on this point is available. The agreed consensus is that it is a Fender component and no later than 1965 - when some old parts were still being used
