Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a very nice older general purpose microphone made by Electro Voice in the late 1940's. This is the early 2nd generation 630 that has the polished chrome housing and looks nice but it no longer works and should be used for display, prop or repair purposes only. It comes with the period Atlas DS-5 model stand shown however.

 Pic # 2 shows this very model in a 1940's Electro Voice catalog along with several others mic models of that era.

 Pic # 3 is of Marilyn Monroe using this very model of E.V mic while performing live at a U.S.O show during the Korean War.

 This early 2nd generation 630 has the elongated lower pistol grip giving it a bit more character.

 The mic housing / head is reminiscent of the jet engines being used by several American and Soviet fighter planes of the day. 

 The 70 + year old microphone has typical lite wear as you can see in pictures with fine pitting and a few very lite scratches and an engraving on the left side of the lower pistol grip. It's free of any dents, dings or fractures. The chrome has a nice luster still. The threads for the cable and stand are perfect with zero stripping. The E.V label shows paint loss but still completely legible. Overall this piece is an easy 7 on a scale of 1 - 10.

 The joint mechanism works fine with plenty of tension. The on / off switch works great as well. Just needs a replacement element.

     MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS PART OF THIS SALE...

 The mic comes with 1950's era Atlas DS-5 model microphone desk stand. The DS-5 has a cast iron painted base with chrome stem / riser. This model was widely produced by Atlas from the late 1940's to present though this is an earlier 1950's model.

 It was ideal for just about nay microphone and especially larger top heavy models as the DS-5 makes for a stable platform.

 This stand has very lite lite wear as you can see. Some very lite discoloration on the base but no dents or fractures. The chrome riser looks pretty good with lite corrosion. Please let the detailed pictures be your guide. All 3 original rubber pads are still present and look great. It will keep the stand from scratching any surface it sits on. Mic stand with mic on top is appx 11 1/2 inches tall X 6 inches wide. The stand really compliments the mic as well.

 This will make a great display piece anywhere it sits in the home, studio or office.
