Mystery cartridge and headshell.

I found this pickup and headshell in a box with other miscellaneous phono parts that was recently given to me. I can't identify the headshell or what kind of arm it was made for; the cartridge is an Electro-Voice of some kind. It's an early stereo model (3 pins instead of 4) by the looks of it.

Can anyone tell me what I have here? Thanks!

It looks like an EV 21 stereo ceramic cartridge. I'm having a tough time finding another pic of one. The headshell...I have no idea:dunno:

I have no idea either but that headshell has a VTA adjustment feature. Pretty freakin' cool!

Maybe this applies(taken from Google Books, Oct. 1958 Popular Mechanics mag):
