Julio (MatiasStuntMan) is moving back permanently to Colombia after being here with us in the USA for some years.  As Julio explained… Since some of his Don Antonio tops “…don't have a passport  :) “, he sent a couple of them to me for adoption.
I am their caretaker and proud adoptive father.  ;D

Thank you Julio, your kindness is unparalleled!  They will be cherished always.

You may recognize them from Julio’s previous posting:

Thanks for all the passion you bring to our forum.  It is sad for us that you will be leaving the USA.
You will be missed! 
 
My sincere wishes to you and your family for a very happy and successful future back home.

Keep spinning and soaring off those mountains my friend!!
Larry D.

P.S. If you are curious, here is one of Julio’s non-spin top related adventures from the 2014 Roldanillo FAI Pre-Worlds and Colombian Open:

That is a very nice gift you got. Two of larger authentic Don Antonio Tops!

In Colombia he will have more chances to play tops than in the US. And in the next few years it is very likely that we will have a spintop world contest in Colombia and specifically in Bogota, so I bet eventually I will add him to my Figaro gallery  :)

I know how to throw them Jim.   :)
I already have a slightly smaller Don Antonio top that I got about 3 years ago.
