These microphone replicas were actually one channel radio receivers  (1360 KFIV of course) used as promotional items given to advertisers who purchased a minimum numbers of spots  (commercial ads) on the station. They were popular in the 60's and 70's and employed by many stations across the country.  (Courtesy of Bill Slayter and Salty's Record Attic.)
