to quote the seller:

This is one of the original Chris King Star headsets. This is Chris King before it was called Chris King. New in the box. 1'' threadless, All original bearings, grease, instructions, and genuine "Made in the U.S.A." stamped right on the side. This headset is probably from the early 90's and has never been installed.

So rare you can still buy em! They are great aheadsets if you need a very short stack height as STAR have the lowest stack heigh of all aheadsets.
I'm not entirely sure where the king thing comes from seeing as this is an aheadset not a headset (where are the lock rings?!)
