Wow. OK, that's an old condenser "capsule" tube mike, and they are QUITE EXPENSIVE. A condenser mike will also need phantom power, either from batteries or from an outboard power unit.
You might consider a dynamic mike that looks a lot like the old ones, for example the Nady PCM-200:

or the Shure 55-SH Series II:

Good luck!

It looks like an old RCA microphone, possibly a Uni-Directional or Combination microphone. These were not condensers, but actually ribbon mics. RCA stopped manufacturing them in the '50s I believe.
An original RCA will be hard to find and very expensive. AEA makes replica ribbon mics that look very similar, but these aren't cheap either.
There a few links below with pictures and info on the original RCAs and a few links for the replica AEAs.
