Howdy y'all

Boy did I get the pot stired up! To clarify, I'm a board cerified HL wacko. If Harbour Lights makes it, I want it or have it.
However, I enjoy displaying different size versions of the same lighthouse together. My wife and I have found two companies who produce very good giftware lighthouses for about $10 a pop. The lines do not seem to have consistant quality though. Some I've seen and bought are good, some are junk (IMHO). We found these in an antique store and have not seen them anywhere else. We got a St. Georges Reef from Wangs International that looks nice next to the HL piece. The colors look identical. Since they were both made in China ..... Another is a Jupiter from Lighthouses of North America. Each is about 4" tall. They aren't HL but to the novice they might be good enough and thus buy them rather than a more expensive GLOW. My point was that GLOWS have to be obviously worth more to the novice if they are going to compete with lower cost lines.
