My guess is a 1941 EH-150.

That would be a 1941 Eh-150. I have an earlier 1941 seven string with pearl dot position markers. This one for sale has BR-9 knobs, replaced tuners and some funkiness around the nut but that pickup sounds great.

Isn't it a 185?

BTW, be sure to check out the superb new book by AR Duchessoir - Gibson Electric Steel Guitars: 1935-1967

Not quite as much guitar porn as the Bigsby book, but what is?

The guitar in the eBay auction is definitely NOT an EH-185. It matches the description of a 1941 EH-150 exactly as given in Gruhn's Guide to Vintage Guitars.
