It's not really gold, but wouldn't it be pretty if it was? The above picture was from the eBay listing page. It does have a tension mast too and automatically feeds the yarn into the latches. This baby knits really well too, she's an oldie but a definite goodie :) The vintage pattern book is awesome too. As soon as I figure out a good way to scan it without damaging the binding, I'll have to share it.
Pretty cool huh. I imagine if anything does break it will be difficult to get it fixed, but it's sure built sturdy so I don't see that as much of a problem.
