What would be the going price for a good pair of U.S. made hum cancelling P-90 soap bars?

"Hum cancelling" ...
"P-90" ...
"good"
In my experience, you will ultimately only get two of those three wishes. Which two you get will be decided by the guitar, the amp, your hands and your ears.
Whatever you pick, expect to pay at least $90 street per pickup going with your most affordable reputable options will be Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan.
Lindy Fralin makes a more convincing hum-free P-90 style pickup IMHO, but they are $160 and up each depending on options.

Fret, what is your opinion of Lollars, p90s or otherwise?

Lollars are superb. I have one of his dogears in my '55 Junior right now.

Here's a sample of what my Carondelet P-90s sound like. They are not hum cancelling but they are wired so they humbuck when used together.

There's also this scenario with P-90s ... middle pickup RWRP so the "2" and "4" position on the blade are hum cancelling ...

That sounds really good. Do you keep a pair in stock? I would need 2 soap bars though. Or do you think I could just get 1 for the neck and use it with this gretsch lap steel p-90 I've got? It's a great sounding pick up.
I'm just trying to figure this out, what my best course of action is. I also want to put a bigsby B-5 on this guitar.
Also going to rout out for telly control plate.
