Courtesy of Jim from my metal band. It's from an old reel-to-reel, or at least that's what it came with, to the best of his recollection, and he figured I'd have more use than it than he would. It's kinda small and vaguely frog-shaped. I have no idea what it is; it has no identifying markings.
It has a 1/4" connector, unbalanced. I plugged it into a line in on my Saffire and it works. It's surprisingly clean and clear, if a bit muffled in the top end. That's just me talking into it at 3 AM though; I can't speak for how it takes volume or how lo-fi or not it will get. It's heavier than a 57 or 58. There may have been a badge on the underside at one point but it is long since gone.
Definitely not a crispy or modern sounding mic, but I can totally find a use for this. It's not so lo-fi it distorts just from talking into it, but it does have that bandwidth-limited thing going on.
Run it through a talkback compressor or an old broadcast limiter or something.
