Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a somewhat rare Electro Voice model 951 crystal microphone with a modern mid-century look all it's own. This unique design came right out of Buchanan, Michigan during the mid 1950's. It comes with the stand shown in which to display.

 This 951 microphone originally utilized the crystal element but very few of these that I have seen ever have a working element as they just don't hold up well with time due to the crystal elements fragile construction. This mic was originally used for general broadcasting and dispatch use. The mic is omni-directional.

 It should be stated that while the mic looks very nice and is 100% complete it no longer works. It should be used only for prop, display or repair purposes.

 The on / off switch works perfectly as do the threads for both the cable and stand.

 As seen in the pics provided...the original drab green painted finish has typical lite wear. Just lite scratches, a few small paint chips and a few spots of discoloration. Most of the mic looks very good however. The front and side grills are free of tarnish or dents. The E.V badge looks very nice as well. Let the pictures be your guide. I try to provide the most detailed, up close photos available so you know exactly what you are getting and no buyers remorse so common with these older mics. The joint mechanism holds strong. I would rate this 951 an easy 6 + on a scale of 1 - 10. 

 The 951 takes an older Amphenol 5/8 X 27 cable which is not provided. 

 This mic will screw onto any desk or floor stand you happen to have.
