Interesting verbiage "modern witco era"....gotta read the fine print. It is good to post stuff like this though for those of us that don't have the cultivated eye to know the difference. I have learned a lot from this site (and the various tiki reference books), but I still would have to get a second opinion on some purchases. :wink:

Yeah, I saw those auctions earlier and thought if anyone bought those they would be buying them solely on the belief that they're Witco, cause they're all pretty darned ugly :) It appears the one seller changed the auction descriptions because when I saw them earlier it stated in the descriptions that they appeared to be Witco but did not have any markings. Also they had buy-it-now prices which have now been removed. Odd.
