Not to rain on yr Florida sunshine...but I don't think that cute li'l whale is a Witco.

That might be Witco (although not remotely "tiki"). There was a similar carving of a duck posted on the "Show me your Witco" thread and BigBro responded that it was indeed Witco, here's his quote:

"These lil' guys are Witco's attempts to join the gift item market. The mini Witcos were produced in Canada and offered as "Zoo-ettes" (lil' animals) and as "Fun-Touchables" (in conjunction with gift cards) in the 70s. "
