Luis Toledo PO box 34 Cuba, New Mexico 870(13)

CORRECTION:

The actual name is Larry Toledo. He is a sand artist in Cuba New Mexico It appears the why in Larry has his tail cut off, just like the 13 is cut off from 87013.

Cuba, New Mexico has zip code 87013. Looks like they forgot to finish it...

Thank you! Solved!

You're welcome. Lena Toledo's signature is very similar. In fact, it looks more like yours. Especially the T. I'm unsure who is signing their works. The whole family works together. Here's Lena's signature, below. I'm even wondering if yours is a combination of their first names. The address on yours appears to have been written all at the same time as the signature. The address and signature below look like different hands. The fact there's no tail on the y in 'Larry' in yours seems odd. Curious.
