My friend Dave back in O-town has a Witco Tiki Fountain (approx 4 ft tall)he acquired from his parents. As I recall, they bought some furniture in the late 60's from California, I'm pretty sure it was a couch, chairs, coffee table, and probably end tables, and the Tiki came with it.

None of the furniture was tiki or anything out of the ordinary for the time. I remember hanging out at his parents house in the 80's (high school days)and early 90's, they had a regular wooden bar set up on the patio and the Tiki next to the bar. We had some cool parties there, even when his parents were home, those were good times!

We called it "The Tiki Bar" even though that was the only thing tiki in it, but hey thats more than some so-called tiki bars in FL. He also had some cool pictures under the glass top of the bar of trips to the Keys and Caribbean, snorkeling, scuba diving, lobstering, etc.

He now has it inside his home next to the same bar. It is cool to visit my original tiki bar hangout. BTW, he always says he was putting me in his will if he goes before I do and leaving me the Tiki, there are a lot of good memories with that Tiki!
