you see these being held by singers in old 70s TV performance clips...
I got mine from a friend because I remembered seeing Bowie holding one when he sang 'little drummer boy' with Bing Crosby....
a passable little handheld dynamic suitable for lots of applications where you don't need or want wide bandwidth and dynamics... but not spectacular on guitar speakers.

Great Lo-Fi mic
This is a great microphone if you are recording Lo-Fi vocals. The downside is you have to kiss the mic to get a balanced-volume recording.
I have one of these SOMEWHERE! My buddy got it at a yardsale for like 5 bucks and gave it to me after we used it to add some color to a set of demos for his band. I wonder where it got to. Its such a skronky little dynamic, seeing it here is making me wanna record something with it!
