I got this pair from my friend and best bongocero, in my opinion, Johnny "Dandy" Rodriguez. With TP for 35 yrs., with R. Barretto and leader of Tipica 73'.

Valje mid 60's ovesized.

Here is a pair of 1957 Valje Jack Costanzo model. Notice the lugs are welded to the crowns. I put a Cuban flag in the center piece.
