tiki david, i try to collect witco stuff, as much as i can find. heres the thing, seems there is no set value on the stuff, only what the individual is willing to pay for it. dont meen to break any hearts here, but im sure it has always been considered tacky,i'd bet the better part of the stuff is at home now at the bottom of trash dumps. not that i dont love it (i really do) i carve my own spin on the stuff.i have a witco tiki table (pictured in the book hula girls and tiki gods, by my friend chris pfouts)i paid $500 for it, we recently bought a pair of witco cats for $75. the majority of people dont even know or care what witco is, it is only collectable on the tiki market, wich will eventually drop out like any other fad (such as swing) except for the few diehards like myself and others on this board. so no matter what you paid for it, if you love it keep it, if you dont let me know and i'll make you an offer. im 2 hrs. 71 south of you, best of luck, jimmy. |
