Here's Tiki David's Witco fountain. I went over to see it and the other finds today. I'm thinking of making at least one "copy" for fun of this fountain in the near future. I'll post it on my thread when it starts to take shape...
This is the main statue set aside from the fountain pump base/bowl...
Rear view...
Top view of fountain bowl...
Bowl and pump housing that's the base for the bowl...
Upper front view...
Bowl and pump housing/base front view...
Side view of spillway into bowl...
Water pumps out from under the large tongue...

That is the same fountain that I have. If you look at my earlier post you will see a link to the photos. I just finished carpeting our tiki room and just had him apart and back together. His tounge is just stuck in with two nails. You need to take it out to run the hose through his body. Mine is still natural finish with painted eyes. Scott

I read about wahine's tiki lighter, but my question is this... did Witco ever make lighters (tiki or non)?
Here's what I thought was a witco. A friend got it off ebay for me as a xmas present for me a few years ago. Even if it's not Witco, it still looks cool on the bar.

Never thought much about this lighter other than it looked good on my bar. Can't believe it's Witco because of its very primitive carving technique - but, I thought it was interesting that the mechanism looks identical to Unkle John's previous post. I found this at a junque shop in New Hampshire.
