I paid $ 185. It could have been cheaper, but I kept thinking " when am I going to see another one of these? " Although the tiki doesn't have quite the shine that the Witco catalog photo has, my photo could definitely be better. I took the photo in my dark garage, and my flash kind of blasted parts of it to make some of it look alot lighter than it really is, and makes the bottom look alot darker and duller. Oh well. I spent more time fixing the photo to block out the background, so everyone wouldn't see just how much junk I have in my garage !

We also got a Space Needle plaque, for $ 22, that looks alot like a Witco. I asked Keigs20 about
that one, and he's checking on it. Witco had a booth at the Seattle World's Fair, so there's a chance. I'll post a photo of that one later, if anyone would like to see it.

I wonder if there is a way to get the tiki looking a little more spiffy like the original photo? Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks.
