It's possible it's a custom mic, I guess. I have seen 3 of them on the stage at Newport in film clips. Also, I think I remember Dylan using it at another venue. I doubt if Newport would have used Dylan's mic for everyone else at Newport. I think I have also seen a smaller version in pictures, but it could have just been context or perspective. I am guessing it is an omni-directional mic due to its shape and that several singers would gather around it.
