Here is a piece of history.

The company Danelectro made guitars and amplifiers in the 50's and 60's under the Silvertone brand name distributed through Sears.

Danelectro came up with the idea of packaging a guitar pickup in a chrome lipstick case. They used actual lipstick cases in the beginning.

We still have lipstick pickups today; they are a big part of the electric guitar world.

A company named GFS makes double coil lipstick humbuckers: https://www.guitarfetish.com/GFS-Pro-Tube-Lipstick-Humbucker...
