Here I go answering my own post. I just noticed that these are quite a
bargain. While these aren't the best series one lenses that Vivitar
sold, I've seen the production versions sell for nearly as much
described as excellent condition. These probably are in that
condition. As collectors items I'd expect them to be worth quite a bit
more than this. Oh, well, e-bay.

I think other manufactures have produced Gold finished cameras as
well. I seem to remember seeing something about Gold finished Nikon
and Oly OM bodies. I guess that vivitar felt that for their 50th
anniversary they'd produce lenses to go with them.

I don't know if anyone else noticed these, but I think that they
would match the gold LX that was on ebay a couple of months back.
