Well, and the question and answer by the seller on this one speaks for itself
<<<<<<<<<<
Q:Where have you obtained the information regarding this drum. I have requested information on a 9" Patato from several vintage drum websites and Martin Cohen's (owner of LP)Congahead.com and no one is aware of such a drum. I have personally found that drums do not always measure what they are advertised to be by manufacturers so a slight departure would not necessarily constitute a "rare" drum. Do you have a way of verifying a "requinto" has been produced? Thanks!

A: YOU NEED TO CONSULT PEOPLE A LITTLE OLDER THAN 18 YRS I AM ALMOST 60 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE DEALT WITH MARTIN COHEN SINCE HIS SHOP WAS HIS GARAGE IN MAYWOOD N.J. IM SURE YOU DONT GO BACK THIS FAR . WHEN I TELL YOU THIS DRUM IS A 9INCH PATATO MODEL REQUINTO YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK THAT IS WHY I HAVE A DISCLAIMER THE ONLY WAY YOU GET A REFUND IS IF THE DICRIPTION IS MISREPRESENTED. I THINK THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH AND IF IT SOUNDS THAT IM INDIGNANT ITS BECAUSE I AM. BUT ENOUGH BS IM NOT HERE TO EDUCATE THE CONGA NEOPHITES ONLY TO SELL A DRUM.THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN BUT PLEASE DONT BUY IT AND GOOD LUCK WITH THE CONGA POLICE>>>

And here´s Dario´s statement:
<<<<A 9" requinto Patato was made as far back as 1980, when LP moved from Palisades to Garfield, NJ. Only a limited amount of these were made. The first generation had the original crown and the Patato kongol cap on the front label. The one you have is the second generation, with the confort curve crown and also a limited number were made. Now a days they make a 9 3/4" requinto. The 9",like the one you have, is definitely a collector's item. Is a great drum for solos and sought after by rumberos and quinto players.>>>

Good info there for sure!
