Well... on our last visit to the place over the weekend, she took what was to be her 2nd look and decided the Witco was cool... apparently my Jedi mind tricks were at their best. For some reason this time, she liked it. I guessed that the thing would be around $400 due to the prices on all of the furniture in similar shops up and down Valencia St., but upon learning that they wanted $90 for it, we jumped on it. It barely fit in my wife's Jetta. Did anyone else in the Bay Area see this thing and pass it up? I think it's pretty cool. Any info. on this piece or ones like it bigbro? Late 50s, early 60s?
