What size frets were on Gibson hollowbody’s in the early 1950′s?

I know Les Paul’s always have what they call “medium jumbo”, but I don’t know if Gibson used a smaller fret size similar to what Fenders used on their guitars in the 50′s. I’ve never been able to see or feel a real Gibson ES-150 or a vintage L-5. I think the newer L-5 models and ES-175 have frets similar to a current Les Paul.
