I got this bull (It was sold as a Rhino, but I'm pretty sure its a bull) in a package deal with some other wood stuff....I don't know if either are Witco but I like the bull in any case; I'll probably sell the Western scene to offset my costs. An odd thing about the Western scene is that the back of the piece is surface-burned where it wouldn't even show.

Tikijackalope, great finds! Yes, they are both Witco. As for the burning, the whole piece was burned at the Witco factory, of course, before being painted, so that's why there would be the traditional "Witco burn" on the back. I only have the book on the Witco process, but Keigs20 could probably give you more insight on the process if you need details. In any case, listing the Western scene as a Witco on Ebay would be telling the truth.
