Serial number: B58564.These microphones are iconic classics, famously coveted by harmonica players (\"harp mics\") for their distinct gritty, bluesy tone when paired with tube amplifiers. ### Cosmetic Condition:
* **Front Grill:** Excellent vintage condition. The chrome finish is bright, reflective, and shows high shine with no major dents or crushed fins.
* **Housing/Body:** Features the original gray hammered enamel finish. It shows minor authentic cosmetic wear from age, giving it a great vintage look.
* **Connector:** The threads and base connector are intact and clean.### Functional Status:
