Vintage 1940's era Atlas Sound DS5 cast iron microphone desk stand Shure Electro Voice DS7 DS10 # 1

              Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

  You are looking at a very nice and rarer Atlas desk stand from the 1940's era and perfect for just about any microphone you have. The design, paint scheme shows that it's clearly a 1st generation DS-5 model desk stand and it comes with it's original dark grey crinkle paint scheme. I haven't had an early DS-5 model desk stand to offer in about a year now. They rarely come around.

 Sometimes you just need a really special stand for that special older mic. If you have something from the 1930's to 1950's era that you want to match up using a period mic stand then this DS-5 will certainly do the trick.

 Pic # 2 is from a late 1940's Atlas catalog showing this particular model along with the 1st gen DS-5 model stand and several other early floor stands. 

 Total dimension on the DS-5 is appx 7 inches tall X 6 inches wide and makes a very stable platform for just about any microphone used. Great for small, medium and most larger mics.

 This mic stand is almost 80 years old but still looks very nice.  The DS-5 had the painted cast iron base with the deco style 2 tier "waterfall" design. 
 This mic stand works perfectly. You'll see in pics # 4 & 5 how the period Electro Voice 630 dynamic model microphone seats on this DS-5 mic stand.

 The chrome stem shows very lite wear in the form of scuff marks and a couple tiny scratches.   There are extremely lite signs of wear on the original dark grey paint. No signs of rust on the bottom of the base which is a plus. The stand was stored in an ideal environment. Even the 3 original felt pads are damn near perfect. Please let the detailed pics be your guide.  

 The stand will accept just about any microphone with the exception of a few Astatic mics due to their unusual 3 pin attachment. All E.V, Shure and Turner mics will screw on however as will any mic clip you have. This stand has the universal 5/8 X 27 thread.

 This stand is an easy 8 + on a scale of 10 though many would rate higher.

 I do combine shipping as well if you need anything else at all.
