Can you identify these congas?

There are no identifying marks on them anywhere. As I noted in an earlier post, I purchased these at the local Guitar Center for $100 for the pair. I apologize for the quality of the photos. If I'm not the world's worst photographer, I'm at least in the running. I have a couple more pictures that I'll post below. Five is the maximum in a single post.

Here are two more photos that might be of some help.

"Playa Azul".
These were made in Mexico in the sixties up to the early eighties. They are well made drums, deffenetly nice sounding. You no doubt got a GREAT buy.
Cheers.

Thanks a million, King Conga. You're amazing. I don't have a clue what a conga should sound like at this point, but I'm pleased to learn that I got a bargain on a good pair of drums. These really aren't that beat up, but maybe I'll refinish them sometime down the road.
