Looks like it could be a very well worn gold plated Chinese KK.

Definitely a worn-down gold bearing. Very likely of Asian origin

I don’t know if it’s worn, but it sure spins like no other bearing I’ve ever tried

Well if it’s gold plated, as far as I know, the plating wears off pretty easily so that could just be string wear. Also most gold bearings you’ll find will indeed spin quite well.

Yeah, it’s not the first time I’ve had a gold bearing, but it’s the first time I’ve got one that worn.
