Take a look at this cool Witco fountain I picked up yesterday. Found it near my home in S.E. Michigan. Didn't know what it was (and neither did the owner), until I happened across the similar piece on pg 179 of the BOT. Once I knew it was Witco, I became "educated" like you folks. I feel very fortunate to have stumbled on this piece which sat in a semi trailer for 30 years B4 the owner started to liquidate his collections of "junk". This and a 4' Witco mask were the only tiki pieces he had and I was a day late on the mask :(
Still for a newbie like me with a budding tiki room, just started, I feel blessed to add this marquis piece to my collection. In fact, at this point, except for some thatch and a couple mugs, it is my collection.
Anyway, I'm sure there are a few out there who will curse me and others who will congratulate me for my good fortune, not yours and for rescuing this piece from some lunkhead who would never have known it's true origins.
Soon this piece will grace my tiki room at my beach house in Tropicanada.
ps. Got the box, bowl and even the original pump with this bad boy. The whole thing is about 5' tall.
