Oof, easily my first Witco bar! I got it before I knew of Tiki Central. I actually found TC from searching "Witco"

I saw the bar set driving by a retro store in Fullerton, in the window. Everything in this store is expensive, so I didn't even want to ask how much. We hopped out and sat on the stools for a while. I flinched when he told me how much, but then I just did it! I don't treat myself often being such a bargain hunter.

I don't even want to say how much I paid for it, A LOT! But I also know that if I hadn't bought it, I'd still be thinking about it, so I also bought a little piece of mind. I've learned a lot about Witco since then and I think this is one of his very early bars. Someday, Keigs will come down South to visit and tell me more, but from the comparisons to old catalogs it may be a better buy than I thought. It's my favorite of the three I have and came with 3 stools, a large shield, 2 spears, and four masks.

It started my Witco collection so I guess that makes it responsible for even more money spent!
