TabooDan, thanks for the info on the lamp being made by Nasco. I guess it was an "interpretation" of a Westwood design. :wink: Kudos on finding one with the box.

MachTiki, I've seen the first lamp on ebay but the second one is new to me. You think it's at all possible that the furniture store could've had a couple of vintage items (hence the more reasonable cost) or are you pretty sure that they're new? Nice shade on that one also.

I found this guy on Sunday:

I've got one that is very similar but has a glaze (this one is roughly textured) and says Florida on the backside. My other one also has a cool shade that has a tiki face motif. I didn't post a pic of it because it's boxed up at the moment. There's one just like it in Tiki Quest FWIW.

I thought it funny that I started a thread on tiki lamps and then just found one (albeit a small one) in the wild. Maybe I should start a thread on Witco tiki fountains? :-?

I KNOW there are more tiki lamps out there. Where are they? I know Flounder has a couple. He doesn't post here so much anymore so maybe I can find that old thread and see if the pic is still there...
