I wanted to post some pics of this great Witco tiki bar I scored last weekend off craigslist for $75 bucs with the 4 tiki stools too! It's just missing the top! Sven, was there really only 15 of these ever made? I found it pictured in Tiki Modern on page 239. The funny thing about this bar is the story behind it......
I saw another one last month listed on craigslist for $2000 bucs!?! I emailed the guy about it but he was kinda mean and was firm on the price. Needless to say I didn't have an extra 2 grand to spend on it but I would still check every morning on to see if it was still listed, I mean who else was going to buy it?! Well, one morning it was gone, not listed so I emailed the seller and he emailed me back.....SOLD! Damn, I thought, I'll never find another one. I was bummed out! Later that same day I was checking the surrounding area on Craigslist for anything Tiki and that's when I came across a listing for a " Tiki bar with four stools with leopard print seat covers....$75" (No Photo) Leopard print seat covers............Witco!!! I emailed the seller who was out in the middle of Penn. to send me some pics. She didn't have a camera but described it as a "dark wood tiki bar with tiki's on the front and side with 4 square shaped tiki stools with old animal pattern seat covers". I was sold but still didn't think it would be the same bar! After several hours of driving into the middle of nowhere I finally found the old farm house with the barn in the back and the lady with no camera who just happened to have a Witco treasure buried behind a pile of crap! There it was, the same damn Witco Tiki bar for $75 bucs! I still can't believe it!
