So I was thinking that it might be fun to start a post to see who has what in their HL collection. We can comment about each others lighthouses and see who may have some of the rarest or most unique pieces available.
With that said I guess I'll go first. Now compared to many of you, my HL collection will probably seem a bit small, but seeing that I am only 25 and a newlywed that might help to explain (hahaha).
HL243 Cape Henopen, DE HL254 Whitefish Point, MI (signed) HL271 Rock of Ages, MI HL312 Alpena, MI HL313 Presque Isle, MI HL323 Little Sable, MI (signed) HL332 Old Presque Isle, MI HL346 Grand Island East Channel, MI HL360 South Haven South Pier, MI HL375 Saginaw River Range, MI HL387 14 Mile Point, MI HL393 Stannard Rock, MI HL634 St. Helena, MI HL646 Minot's Ledge (Old), MA HL660 St. Clair Channel Lights, MI (signed) HL690 Waugoshance, MI (2005 Reunion/signed) HL704 White Shoal, MI (x-mas 1997) HL720 Marquette Harbor, MI (x-mas 2005)
As you can tell I'm a so called "Michigan man."

Good idea, but let me suggest an enhancement: Which is your favorite? Or which has an interesting story of how you acquired it?

Wonderful suggestion! I would have to say my favorite would be Waugoshance, MI for not only its rarity, but also because I love it when HL recreates lighthouses that are "gone but not forgot", how they looked during their prime.

Wow! There are so many ways to answer this inquiry: For the thrill of the 'hunt' and the excitement of the acquisition, HL111 Coquille River. For Sentimental value, HL380, Fastnet Rock. And HL263, LA Harbor (Angel's Gate) because it was such a challenge to conquer that dangerous, long breakwater, nearly two miles one way, to get right up to it! With over 500 HLs in the collection, there are many more 'favorites' but these are first to mind.

I'm not sure I can pick one favorate. Maybe my top 5.
Right now I'm in the process of changing what's in my cabinets, I've added more cabinets, plus I still don't have many of my collection(400+) out of storage yet. Some of these I haven't seen since I bought them.
I'll see if a can pick one, or some from my tracking spreadsheet.
