Many years ago - I bought a Epiphone off my buddy. I have not been able to find the model? 

It was a blonde single cutaway- best I can remember it had one p90 neck pickup (brown color)?? The inlay was insane the classic fret inlay mother of pearl ~w/ flowers inlay on the headstock 😍Insanely beautiful.

Classic tailpiece-White knobs I believe. I have searched high and low in pictures, however I have not been able to find it. I would guess it was a early 50’s model. I traded it for a $200 12 string that could not tune to pitch😭😩

many ideas on what model it may have been?? It looked very close to the picture I included ~ except it had a P-90 Thanks, D

Hey Creek definitely sounds like you had an Emperor, the acoustic archtop that you posted above, and maybe someone put a p90 in the neck. Epiphone did make an electric version with white knobs, but always had three of the NY pickups in them. 

It's possible you had a zephyr with a bikini logo or maybe a diff neck on it? sounds pretty close to what you're talking about less the tree of life headstock

1951 Deluxe Regent with floating DeArmond.  Maybe you had a Deluxe Regent Zephyr (built in pickup)?  Here's a sunburst 1953 example with two pickups:

Anyway, I'm guessing it was a Deluxe, with those cloud fretboard inlays.
