If it's not Spanish it's Mexican. Date?? Anytime from the '60s [or earlier] - yesterday :wink:
Price ? should be about $15-$25 [max] :!: BUT these have "gone through the roof" lately and well over $100 is not unusual, especially on a bidding war.
Just my opinion :wink: Let's see if the real experts agree with that??
