Got some extra time today to show my new bargains! first is of my new witco wall panels. Here is one. I haven't found a spot for the two yet. So I shot them one at a time. they are a little over 5 ft tall. I say they are in mint because they still have the little catalog on back that has a few pics in black & white and in colored. i cannot make out what this says the front of the little catalog the back of the other one Well I got these for the price of $90. $45 each not bad. now check out this vintage lamp I got at the swap meet last month. If you have the album of Don Ho and the Alii's you'll see a bunch of these lamps hanging from the bamboo A-frame on the back cover. it's shape of a fish trap. made of thin shells. my narrow room. I don't do much to this place because i'm still renting. I can't stand that dam seeling lamp/fan too! k'den |

Gecko, that lamp is killer! By the way, I will taking my family to Maui next June, do you know of any must see places that I should include in the trip? I'm thinking that any antique, or junk stores may have some yet undiscovered treasure! Cheers, KT |

the swag lamp cost me $20 for that vintage beauty. Boobam, how'd ya know? that lamp was actually used in the rooms of the Waikikian home of the Tahitian Lanai. I herd they had a few in the restaurant to. The ships prow is from the 40's. That was NO swap meet find....I wish. |

Y'know, it's not often you'll hear "Say, those are some damn fine panels" from my mouth, but it so applies in this case. |

Interesting I have the same pair. Witco must of made a lot of these. They are very close if not exactly the same as mine. Congrats |
