These 2 vintage ribbon mics are on eBay. Are they worth anything or are they rubbish???

Hi,

I am no specialist or collector, but the black one in the first pictures looks like some sort of cheap variant/ripoff of the old RCA 44 mic. Google 'rca 44 microphone' to compare.
The Dynacord looks like your classic harp mic. Nothing else I can add,

Best,

CC
 
Firstly - and only my opinion - I don't believe either of these mics is a ribbon...certainly not the Dynacord, which I'm pretty sure is a dynamic. The first one baffles me, but it looks like some kind of knock-off copy. It also has a 1/4" connector, which states it's a hi-Z mic (which I also don't think a ribbon would be, but I could be wrong). They're nifty looking anyway. I personally wouldn't buy them - even if they were incredibly cheap - but YMMV. Everyone has their own taste.
