Afternoon everyone….
The other day I came home to a package waiting in my mailbox. I looked at the address and was wondering what it could be. It wasn’t something I had ordered because that gets sent to a different address.
So……
I use scissors to open up all my packages. I’m very careful not to just slice into anything. After opening the end of the padded mailer, I saw a piece of paper.
This is all the paper had on it….
I was quite surprised to be getting something. So let’s see what it is….
It’s a 1983 Onza round from Mexico. I really dig this original design, which has now turned into the Libertad which is also a great design.
