Most of the classic mike stands and booms were adapted from lighting gear. Atlas is kind of unique in being made only for mikes. I have two Atlas BS-36ws that I bought well-used in 1970 that are still fine. (It was a scream when they changed the model number from BS-36 to SB 36 in the '70s.)

I think the old ones were probably a lot better made than the newer ones with the exception of the Atlas baby boom which has always been a piece of s_!t.
