"Westenhaver's art can still be found in Florida motels as well as in thrift stores throughout the U.S." From page 253 of TBOT

I always thought "Ha-yeah right!"
As a lover of Witco I have found some bargains on ebay and dropped a pretty penny on sets on and off ebay. But with about 10 years of thrifting under my belt have yet to find a bit of the stuff! So. CA is so picked over!

Yesterday afternoon, Cory talked me into going to check out a newly opened club with "maybe after we could check out your thrift shop" I hit this thrift shop almost every Thursday (the day they change the sale tags) But that is the pretty much the only day I thrift. I agreed and we found out that the club dosen't open until 6 so off to the thrift store-HA! Cory and my son HATE thrifting and follow me sighing and asking "are you done yet?" Well I grabbed a cart, hit the bric-a-brac and housewares, through some other crap, look down and there is a Witco piece! I snached it up and turned it with "Look a WITCO!" I think I said it about 6 times to Cory because I couldn't believe it myself.

Now it's nothing super rare but $12.98 for any Witco is cool! After nearly 10 years, I'm thrown a bone. I sent Cory to ask if there was the other half as I know these often came in pairs and the guy said that it had been in the employee lounge for nearly a month because someone was going to buy it but they decided to put it out today. YEA! YEA! YEA!

She is almost 4' tall, beautiful teal color background and excelent condition. She is the goddess behind my bar and now is amongst friends! There is hope!
