Aloha Friends!

Just when I was whining about hardly ever finding any WITCO in Vegas, I found some!

Of course, they actually weren't located in Vegas, and I had to drive quite a ways to get them, but now they ARE in Vegas!

The first piece I found is a classic Large WITCO Kitty picture. I've seen lots of WITCO Kitties, but never a Large-Format configuration of three cats like this...

As found:

And after waxing:

I drove an hour out of town to Pahrump of all places to pick it up. I love my new kitties, but there's no room at the house right now, so it's at the shop "in storage" until I figure out what gets replaced at home.

The second find was on eBay, believe it or not. These Wahine and Kane chairs were in Tulare, Ca., and I was shocked beyond all belief that no one from L.A. grabbed these before I found them. The owner told me that a few people had called on them, but they wanted them delivered. LAZY BUMS! I drove 6 hours from Vegas with the Wifey and spent the night in town there just to get 'em! I guess you all in the L.A. area just have so much WITCO thrown at you at every turn that you don't even get excited enough to go and get it anymore! Lucky Sods! :wink:

Anyway, here they are:

They are massively tall as is the WITCO way, and carved indentically on both sides. I especioally like the little tiki face on the front of the seat support...

Here's a shot to show you how they look with one waxed and one not waxed:

I've REALLY gotta do some re-arranging to work these in. They might end up as patio furniture since they don't have their original velvet seat cushions. Don't worry, it's a COVERED patio!
