The top tips of the lug plates seem too rounded of to be
LP's.
I have 2 New Jersey made LP fiberglass congas, the points are sharper. Also the bottom of my drums are wider, but that is a little hard to tell from the picture.

Also my handles are different, but that is not saying much, even my two handles are different, but they are both dull unpolished cast aluminum, one has a logo, the handle on these seems to have a finish.

Did LP put gold finish on traditional style rims?

those legs are wild though, arent they?!

Aha, buyer collects only in Jolly Ol' England, now I know why you guys are watchin this one

It appears lots of us watch ebay

I've always wondered if anyone besides me is greatly amused by the "Rare Blue Conga Drum" (or purple) or "New large white/red/green Conga Drum"
