It may take a bit for the official review of Fairport. But first glance last night at my local dealer revealed a very attractive piece. The tower is one of the cleanest I can remember...sort of a cross between Minots Ledge and Buffalo. The house bears a resemblance to Charlotte-Genessee's, and there are some nice doo-dads on the sculpture (a life boat encased in a cast-iron berth, an oil shed, etc.).

Not a WOW™, but probably their best Ohio effort after Toledo Harbor (in my opinion, one of the unsung gems in the HL line).

As for the Sanibel GLOW. In my opinion, not worth $90. I mean, not even close. The paint is sloppy, one of the houses is missing, and about the only thing going for it is the tower. Thumbs way down. If it had weighed in at $65-$70...maybe. But then again, no GLOW should ever be in the price range of a limited edition piece, in my opinion. So I'll revise my statement and say, "$50-$55...maybe."
