I am a Licensed Ham Radio operator and do not know if it worth anything. It still work great and never really looked at the plate on the bottom till today. Found it interesting that it said patent still pending when simalir ones say something else.

So far this the only mention I have found https://service.shure.com/s/article/shure-microphone-model-559853?language=en_US I’ll add more if I find any. Another person with the same mic as yours but no answers here https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/shure-rca-model-559853-mic.93489/

Thank you Look in some of the old pdf manuals and some history but the 550l radios have different markings. Even on ebay they say they were made in Mexico. I sent a pic to the company. Maybe they can find somthing,
