Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

You are looking at a rare variant of the1950\'s Electro Voice1st generation 630 microphone.This particular model was sold under license by E.V and sold under the Pierce brand name. They called it the model 85. Electro Voice sold a few of it\'s mics to other companies such as Rauland Borg, Pierce, Auricon and Dukane to name a few.

I have seen quite a few different labels on a 630 type mic before but only about one dozen by this company. This is the early 630 type with the slender, longer lower pistol grip.

This 85 model has been tested and has a good working original element set at high Z making it a good general purpose microphone and an even better harp mic. These 630 mics also have an omni-directional pattern. It will make a great mic for any live event or a lovely display piece in any mic collection and very unique due to it\'s rarity.

The polished chrome housing is pretty nice despitehaving typicalcosmeticflaws as seen in the pictures provided. The Pierce badge shows wear in the finish but completely legible. Mostly scuffs, nicks and scratches but zero dents or engravings on the mics finish. The threads for the cable and stand are perfect with zero stripping. The original cable is included and it\'s 18 feet in length. Soft, pliable and free of any damage. It has the standard male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most modern audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. Overall this piece is physically a 7 on a scale of 1 - 10.

MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY.

I do have several older desk and floor stands for sale in my store if needed.
