Okay experts,
Something doesn't smell right about this set. I'm ignorant, but are these really sonocs?

Thanks Leedy. Like I said, I'm ignorant.
Also, I've never seen the two badges printed on transparencies next to each other on any bongo, much less a Cuban one. It just looked weird.
Most of the Cuban instruments I've seen have a different style to mark it as such -- rounded center block, very narrow bands on the shells, a label identifying the place sold on the inside (e.g."Solas"). This seller doesn't even say what kind of wood this is made from.
Any sense how old these might be?
