Gold Krona set.

Found one in its natural habitat.
76 Executive travel set. The literature says that the Schick was "Especially finished to match other '76 executive accessories"

Sorry about the one offset pic. I took this one and my camera batteries gave up. I'll get more pics later.

Very, very cool! Why can't I find something like that around here?!?

I found it on eBay.
By "natural habitat", I meant the case/set it came in. I didn't mean I found it in a bathroom nearby.

Wow, nice set

The seller took some pretty good pics of it for the auction.

 

[LiveOak]

Did you really pay 99 cents for it? And you were the only bidder?

Let us know how that Bicentennial hair conditioner works out.

Yep. It was the second time it was listed. The first time it was a BIN w/ best offer, but no takers. Had it on my watch list but never submitted an offer.

Well Mr Boat - you got took for 99 cents. It is after all one of the very few gold Kronas - I can only imagine just a few - I have never seen one myself. But almost a dollar?? Sheesh, you are one extravagant fella!!


You gotta be pretty darn happy about that!!!! Wow!

(I never end up seeing the ones where people won't ship to Canada - which can be quite a few sellers. It is sad really, because I see all kinds of cool deals people get that I never get to participate in. Oh well - I do ok!!)

Have you seen a gold Krona before?? I didn't know there was such a beast.

thnx!

Wow, that a great score for the money. Some people seem to have all the luck. Congratulations.

I've heard talk of them, and saw a few pictures on here. But I'm not convinced that it's gold plated. The pamphlet describes the nail clippers and knife as being 'gold finished', not plated. No mention of 24, 22, or any other karat plating. They don't even refer to the razor as gold at all, just 'especially finished to match'.

Wow that is one nice set at a ridiculous price! Congrats my friend!

Wow, no wonder you never see cased gold Kronas. Great score!
