Hi all - newbie here, Started getting into tiki after purchasing our vintage 1960 home earlier this year and deciding to begin converting the back porch/utility room into a tiki porch/bar (actually, more of a combo tiki-"aviation" bar, as hubby is a retired navy fighter pilot and I needed someplace to stash all of his "I love me" stuff! :wink: ) Anyway, today while at a consignment shop, I came across these two tiki style lamps - one male looking, one female-ish looking. They definitely look vintage to me as have old green felt on the bottom. They came with two obviously vintage (and hideous) lampshades. They are very heavy and abt. 2' tall w/out the lampshades.The price was right, so I bought them to put in the tiki-ation bar. After trying to research them, I'm coming up blank. Haven't find anything like them online. I'm wondering if anyone here can tell me if they have seen this style before? Could they be Witco? There are no defining markings on them. Thanks for any input!
