Anybody familiar with the Shure Brothers 520 Microphone circa 1950's ????? TRADES?????

Still thinning out the "Stuff" and I hear that this is an awesome vintage mic but I don't know much about them outside of some reading. This is a real one, not a repop.

Looks like a 15' cord (differential). I see prices from $150-$400 on Reverb depending on condition. Looking for trades. Anybody got a Harmonica player in the band? I hear these were the ultimate for that. This example is pretty nice. here is a "history of" link

PM me if interested.

Yep. Good harmonica mic to create that “classic” overdriven sound.

I’ll check quickly but I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head looking right now.

I see they still make it new, but it's the 520DX.

edit: but they say it sounds quite different than the older 520 , though.
