I fell asleep and got outbid at the last minute. Maybe it's for the best because I really don't need them but I'm still curious. I've had many different Gon Bops over the years but never saw these before. I can't find any reference to them and they are not listed in any of the old catalogs I have. They are 8 & 9 inch RC & RQ 3000. I have mahogony 3000 series congas now from 72.

Anyone out there know when these were made and how many were made and how they might sound compared to new juniors.

I saw those too, but the price got higher than I was willing to pay. I'm not really in to the junior congas, but I thought they would be a fun collectors item. As far as date of origin or how many of them they made, I couldn't tell you, but they definitely aren't the first pair I've seen for sale.
