This conga set is available at German ebay at the moment and I´m just curious what brand this might be?

They look like Tocas traditional model that have been refinished.
Happy New Year !

Thanks for the quick reply, Omelenko.
You´re probably right, the sideplates look like Tocas.
A happy new year to you, too!

Mike....they do not look like Tocas. Being that theyare in Germany.....And the fact that I had a drum with the exact same side brackets. It is a Meinl of the earlier variety. I will try to post the picture of my Meinl which had brown and natural stripes. It was beautiful.

Mike one last note....toca side brackets use 4 screws, while the meinls used 2.

Thanks a lot for ths profound information.
My research is not cheap. lol.

UNfortunately I´ve got a cash flow problem and can´t afford bidding on these congas - let alone pay for the info you supplied :laugh:
Thanks anyway, I guess someone will be happy with those Meinly at ebay.
