Since some of you asked, here's a brief assessment of the pieces: A.) Witco did not make ashtrays B.) Z's last pic of "Witko" (Vitko?) is not, as he hinted C.) Sweatpea's mask is not D.) And even Tikiwahine's very cool lighter is not The rest is. What makes it difficult is the fact that during the 60s there were several individuals who copied the Witco style, some even after they had worked there and left the company.
