Which vintage model had the neck pickup set at an angle?

That's not much to work with. A pickup can also be angled in two different ways.

The SG-100, SG-200, and SG-250 from the early 70s had angled neck pickups.

The ES-300 had an angled pickup that stretched from the neck to the bridge around 1940, but other pickups in different years.

The Les Paul Personal, Les Paul Professional, and Les Paul Recording all have angled pickups.

Early L5-S models had an angled neck pickup.

The Flying V-II has V-shaped pickups.

Then there’s the Fender Duo-Sonic. And Mosrite. 
 

And undoubtedly many more  

Any more information?

 

Grog: impressive collection. I believe that is all of the LP low impedance models? (Other than the basses) Plus an original L5S. What is the Gibson acoustic on the left? Is that factory or modded? I’ve NEVER seen even a photo of that before. Looks 1970-75 or so.

They are all of the Gibson low impedance models except for a few prototypes & one offs (& colors). The acoustic is a Les Paul Jumbo, it is easily the rarest. 

You are right on the years, they range from 1969 to 1974.

I have the basses also, my room wasn’t large enough to photograph them all so I did them separate. No pickups mounted at an angle on the basses……
