The signatures look hand signed not with a stamp like some other people that copied or resold Witco. You would be amazed how many clowns used to claim they carved a Tiki or whatever, that someone actually put their name on it is not as odd as you may think. I have heard the whole we bought it (the Witco) in the South Pacific, it's hand carved ebony or whatever wood more times than you can imagine. In fact the stories are remarkably similar to one another, when you tell them you know the manufacturer some people will fess up others just act stupid. They certainly look vintage at least the conversation does, you can see the age on the white board. Bosko
