They look like the designs in the chainsaw carving book Bill wrote. So if you found them at a chainsaw carving place they are probably knock offs. A good way to tell is the coating on the out side. Witco used a clear thick wax coating. The masks you have look a little to shiny like they have a glossy verathane coating. Tikipunk another great find that is a Witco called Polynesian idol #LA-225. It looks like the shade has been replaced usally they had a shade with carvings on it also.
