Andrew is CommScope.

The use of a pre zip code postal code indicates the years between 1943 and 1963.

It is probably some sort of FM antenna meant for use on an existing AM 
broadcast tower.

Good Evening Everyone:

This past weekend, I was given an Brand New Still in the wood packing
crate antenna.  I dont yet know what specific model number it is, but
its a 900 series antenna made by Andrew Corporation.  On the instruction
sheet is the following information

Andrew Corporation
363 East 75th Street
Chicago 19
Triangle 4-4400
Telegraph - Andrew Corporation, WUX Chicago
Cable - Andcorp, Chicago, ILL.

There is no date of printing on the instructions, and I am hesitant to
take the parts of the antenna out of the box, as they are still in the
original packaging in there.

- My friend's dad apparently purchased it but never opened it, and it
has sat in my friend's carport ever since -- my friend is 87.

Given the typeography etc, I would suspect that this is a product of the
early to mid 50s, but I dont know for sure

The instructions identify the 900 series of antennas as

25 to 144 MCS folded unipole antenns

I really dont know much about this antenna.  I am curious about its
performance and also what it might be worth on the market as well

If anyone can give me any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
