Welcome to the HL family, mombo. Have you been able to join the society yet? You will be given a really great introduction to this company and what they are all about.

My collecting began with two pieces that were reminders of great vacations. My somewhat small interest in lighthouses was sparked and since that time, I have seen and been able to photograph many of the lights that HL has sculpted. I have limited myself to a certain part of the US. I followed the advice that John Chidester gave (re: Lightkeepers site) you early on.

My grandchildren may reap the benefits of my collection when I am gone, but I am certainly enjoying it now. Finding HL pieces that are retired, traveling to as many lights as I can, photographing them, meeting other HL collectors, and researching this subject makes this collecting a great hobby.

Here's to Keeping the Flame.
