COOL PLACE! Yes I just stumbled in here. Strangely enough through searching for something on e-bay. I was looking for Shag artwork for my living room. An add for a bar caught my eye, "What the heck that is just like my bar!" I thought I had some kind of custom one of a kind thing. BACKSTORY.... Somewhere between 8 and 10 years old I went to an auction with my grandparents. Late '70's Early '80's I can't remember. Anyway this cool looking bar comes up for auction, and my grandparents get it. So I am around this bar for years. Always admiring it. My grandparents tell me one day I can have it. Well My grandfather died in 2003, and after his death my grandmother tells me to come get the bar when it's convenient. It took a year to get there to get it. A month later Hurricane Katrina destroys her house. So the Bar is safe and sound with me in Virginia. Fast forward to now. The bar I saw on E-bay is a Witco, and now I see so is mine. In the last week I have learned more about this bar than in the last 22 years. Here is a pic:
