I purchased this and some other items at a flea market. This was 15$ i believe. I chose this because i thought it was extremely retro and it was all around cool looking. It was apparently a old radio broadcasting microphone because that's what the vender said and it has a station number etched in the side. If anyone knows anything about this, please comment i love to hear input.

It looks a lot like what Johnson radio had, garrybeair is correct, vintage 1960's 70's cb, ham power mike
Ah thank you both. I just couldnt resist buying this. It's so retro and streamline. Thanks Again!
This microphone was one of the first power mics I ever bought. I bought mine in 1975, used, for $30. Big money at the time. And I was only 12 years old. It's called a TURNER+2 and is used mostly for CB and Ham Radio. It comes from either late 60s - early 70s. It was considered a very nice sounding microphone. Awesome find.
