I remember seeing the individual pieces in early Witco catalogues, but never in this combination! Real cool abstract primitivism. Maybe keigs can find out more about it... Hey, perhaps it was custom-made for a restaurant! Click-click...rattle...Ching!: There used to be a great Tiki temple, the Tur Mai Kai, in Kalamazoo. It became a Chinese restaurant, but kept its Tiki decor from the 60s. Unfortunately, it was razed a couple of years ago....maybe it's from there? Duke Carter used to go there, maybe he remembers seeing that piece in situ? [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2006-10-25 10:39 ]
