The loot got divided into two, and both owners are currently looking for larger digs to properly display their wooden treasures with the rest of their collection. I hate to tell ya, but there was quite a bit more than can be seen in the photos. The good thing is that it went to people who are fully appreciative, and very dedicated hunters and collectors of the world of Witco and Tiki en large.

I am still fascinated by the fact that such a big lot of Witco existed in one home in notoriously Witco-poor Los Angeles, Santa Monica for that matter. I have a hunch there was a dealer connection, my suspicion centers around Tepper Bar Supply in Venice, CA:

Me and Jeff Berry used to go there to get our mixes. Needless to say, they didn't offer the above items anymore then, this is a 60s postcard. They still exist though, haven't been there in years.
