Hi there! My name is Marcel. I am a spunky Romanian kid who likes to ramble and discover the old and new Constanta and its whereabouts. Follow me through my journey.
Author's edit: The ”Spunky” is a toy made by Arădeanca factory between 1970-1989 in the series of lookalikes during the communist era of Romania. It is in a very good condition, considering its age.
The way factories all over the world thought of their product's quality has changed nowadays, also in Romania. The Arădeanca factory has gone bankrupt in 2013.
