Err, instead of just quoting other people, maybe they could be given the chance to post their own stuff?
This thread seems kind of one sided, if'n ya know what I mean.

I just want to see all the conquistador's in one thread. To get an idea of how big this line of Witco is. I enjoy it for myself and thought others my enjoy it too. I am trying to encourage TCers to appreciate (in case that you don't like it already) collect preserve and share this part of crazy furniture history. I just wanna have some fun!

I posted a picture of what I think is a Witco conquistador in the collecting tiki forum. Sorry but I can't copy and paste the link from my phone. Can you look and tell me what you think?

Hi all,
I ran across this lamp in a store today. I have seen some WITCO, but this is unfamiliar to me. Can anyone identify it? Is it WITCO? I know they did a lot of items with a "Spanish" influence, but this looks a little...off...to me. Sorry about the photo quality, it came from my phone.
Thanks for the assistance,
Tikirenee

I actually like the Witco Conquistador stuff more than Witco Tiki. The conquistador line is more inventive in design and the subject and material work better as pieces.
The Hobnobber in Burien, Washington has some original Witco decor on its walls, the giant chess pieces and one or two of the abstract musical instruments. (At least it did 2 years ago when I was there last.)
