OMG, what a score! Lucky you, Tiki David.How does one care for pieces like this? Do you refinish them, oil them, or what?

He is if you are saying he is not Witco. Otherwise, he is waving and smiling.

No Wit-Co. Too rounded off.

OK, not Witco, but they look good with the lamp! I really pondered buying them because I thought maybe, because of the grainy dark finish, they were. Perhaps these should go on Ebay as Witco like?
I guess what really threw me was they are hollow inside.
By the way, did Witco carve any cannons? I saw one that looked like it was Witco, but passed on it.

Hello Board:
We are on vacation and have found a Witco wall hanging in a local antique shop. The piece is exactly like the one pictured below:
It is in really good condition. The frame is unblemished and very tight. There are no markings or excessive dirt or dust on the piece. No large chips, cracks, or other dings.
The dealer is asking $450.00 firm for this piece. (We have tried to dicker for a lower price, but he is holding firm).
Does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not this is a fair price for this great looking Witco wall hanging? Today is Wednesday, May 14th and we have until Saturday, May 17th to make up our minds, so a quick reply to this post will be a huge help to us (and we'll return the favor someday and/or buy you the drink of your choice the next time we cross paths).
Thanks,
Sailor Curt & Violet Ray

Well, it's not a "deal". It's not that overpriced either. At the moment, despite the publication of "Tiki Modern", Witco has not risen in price very much (because most people choose to not spend their money on this kind of "folly"...only some crazies do  ). E-bay buyers are scared off by the high shipping cost of these muthas. So it cannot be recommended as an investment that will quickly appreciate. At this point, it is wholly a matter of how much you like this piece personally or not.
