 Radiodaze claims that they are working on reproducing gold foil dials, likely because they were used in many catalin sets, which unlike now were at the low end of the radio market. From what I can tell the gold is often a coating of orange shellac over top of an embossed aluminum foil, with paint added for the lettering and numbers, probably not with all but with many.
