My first real vintage tiki score. Rare in this area. A mug here and there and a small wood tiki once in a while.

Comfortable that the seller had no idea what they were I told them they were Witco and barstools. He politely acted interested. Then said I could have the pair for $30 instead of $20 each. I casually handed him $30.

They have a little damage. Part of an eye chipped off and a chunk off the back of the other. I'm consulting a couple experts on what steps if any to take with these. Would like to do cushions. The stapled remants tell me the cushions were vinyl. The seller got them from someone's porch in the inner city for free.

And after a little wash...

Scored a wicker peacock chair at another tent and a vintage rocket ship ice crusher... both good prices.

I think I'm due for a dry streak. :wink:
