it looks like any number of cheap import pickups with steel slugs and a ceramic magnet glued to the bottom. likely nothing special.
 
Thanks,I'd just like to have a name to associate to it
Try "Kevin".
Honestly, low end pup manufacturers come and go. This one has probably gone too. If it works, you have a wonderful mystery. If not, change it. If you want to buy another one, forget that idea. It won't be the same. The first victim of budget manufacturing is repeatability.

So "Kevin the pup" is a one off and that's ALL you need to know. Now:- go play it and rejoice.
 
that's pretty obviously not even close to being the right spacing.

(to the OP) forget about identifying it; it's a generic cheap pickup, and any good replacement should be a night-and-day improvement.
