However, fountains & tikis are always very first. Bars Stools for bar Chairs Loveseats Tables love the cats anything with leopard print, yum!

I got it at a pet store in Lancaster that has a huge reptile dept. It was called something fogger. It is just this little chrome piece about 1 inch or so in diameter and hight. It has a little red led light on it and a small brass area about the size of a dime. This is where the water hits it to make it fog. It has a small cord running out of that piece into a box and then a plug from the box into a outlet. As soon as it is plugged in with water hitting it it fogs. It is to raise humidity in reptile aquariums. It was $29.99 It works in 2 inches of standing water or as long as water is running over it which is perfect for the fountain. Top 5 Witcos. Bar fountains tikis masks wall art

Here is his: http://community.webshots.com/photo/277581721/322988443sHVJdt Here's what I saw today: Is it Witco, or did someone imitate the Witcogator way back in the day?

Just the seat is recovered and missing the knobs for eyes. Are there holes there? Since each one is carved they each would be slightly different. Scott

I went ahead and bought it...$100...steep for my neck of the woods but I had competition from an alligator collector. I plan to alter the seat and use the platform for a plant stand or a display stand for something that should be seen in the round.

The house had an awsome tiki bar complete with a floor to ceiling waterfall! Anyhow, I was wondering if anybody thinks this is a Witco piece, or an imatator? I haven't been able to find anything about Witco making fireplace tools anywhere on the internet, and there are so many Witco experts on here! Thanks all!
