Another solid gold 2x4 LEGO brick has come up for auction at Catawiki:

Hallmarked yellow 585 gold LEGO brick, 2x4 studs - these bricks were given to LEGO staff members for 25 years of employment as well as LEGO business partners in the period between 1979 and 1981; the brick offered here was given to a LEGO machinist from Northern Germany for 25 years of employment in the company, it is in very good condition, 11.3 x 31.7 x 15.9 mm (height x width x depth), weight 25 g, in original case.

This brick is 25.65 g of 14 carat gold (0.8246 troy oz). The brick is the same size and shape as the original 2x4 LEGO brick. This brick comes in its original display box which features the LEGO logo of the time.

The current bid is €6000. The one we mentioned in August sold for €15000.
