I think you're thinking of the Sony ECM-55.. which sounded nice but was quite big.
The MKE and DPA range are great, but very prone to failure just through handling.

oh, here's another picture of a silver one.

it's an old Micron stick mic, popular in the 1990's and hired out by Bettersound.
They had two at The Big Breakfast house - one of which was covered in gold foil for Wonga - and another out on the OB.
