Description
- John Vassos
- Ribbon Microphone, Model No. 44-B and Desk Stand, Model No. 91-B
- microphone with RCA twice
underside of base with original paper label and manufacturer's molded mark RCA F /175366-A3 - fonte, chromium-plated brass and lacquered metal
Condition
Overall in excellent original condition. The surface throughout retain their original finish and all original hardware. With very minor surface dirt to the recessed portions of the design. There are a few minute surface scratches to the table base of the microphone. This microphone has not been checked for functionality and Sothebys does not guarantee its function. A wonderful object encapsulating the modernist and streamline aesthetic of the 1930s.
