I think this guy was originally an aqua color underneath then got repainted I think this guy came in Tangerine (orange) but then did not match the aqua guy and then also go repainted to match They came with the frames painted gold and one of them was mounted upside down in the frame - I could tell because of the writing on the back! Thanks to Keigs for help in ideas for fixin them up and a references scan from the Witco catalog. (MP-1 & MP-3 are the piece numbers)

The mirror glass looks kinda 70s, but I think it was available into the 80s. I wonder what else "Tiki" made, and what survived of it. Call that number and ask "Are you Tiki?" :) And that Hula girl carving, now that IS primitive. Another example how inspiring Witco was in its day.

Those panels in your bar look almost identical to the ones I found! I was beginning to wonder if they were Witco since no one responded? The two panels are about 4 feet tall and have some nice color that contrast the wood frame and pieces in the artwork. I was unable to take them home with me on the plane from Chicago, but my father has already packed them and they should be arriving here on Friday... Now my on dilemma is where am I going to put these? PTD

Thanks once again bigbro, I knew I could count on the TC tribe to confirm my suspicions! I guess I am happier to find the ones without the candle holders, have those candles burning would worry the tiki hammer immensely! PTD
