Anybody know about what year those sparkly drums were coming out of palisades park? I just sold mine on e-bay and the buyer was inquiring as to the year of production. I would estimate late 70's but I'm not sure.

PC is it not marked inside the drum ?

If anything I'll say early 70's, circa 1971-74. Had a catalog from that era, present day I have a 1970 catalog that has the ZEBRA wood on it but not the sparkle ones.

Hi Pcastag,

Here are some shots from the 1968 catalog and the 1971/1972 catalog. The 1968 catalog says Maywood, NJ. The 1971/1972 catalog says Palisades Park, NJ.





No mention of the sparkle congas in the 1967 catalog

I would loved to have purchased them from you. Anyone with LP sparkle congas for sale?

Hope this helps.

Mine are actually Bongos.

PS I think the glitter are the sparkle models.

Yes,
Sparkle and glitter are the same.
