The Heart of Desire 2

Continuation of part the first

If you're a hard core collector - a 'wacko' in the olde sense of the word - but your collection is still missing some of the key harder to find models - this straw poll is for you. If you're not - jump in anyway. :-)

What are the Top Three Retired Pieces you'd like to acquire next or reasonably expect to acquire next if you found them available? Answer in real-world terms based on the needs in your collection and what you think you might (stretch stretch) be able to afford.

I'm only missing Coquille River LE. I will probably never add it to my collection because of the high price it commands. I just can't justify spending that kind of money for one Harbour Lights.

If I win the lottery I would buy it, but that would mean buying a lottery ticket and I haven't done that for awhile.

Cape Hatteras Mold One.

Missing 402 Boston Harbor and Southeast Block Island GLOW. NOt hard to get, just haven't got around to it yet.

Bert, I don't have many GLOWs but I do have the revised Boston Harbor. It's a very nice affordable model of a light I've seen several times. One of these trips I'll have to get out to the island to see it up close!

Cape Hatteras (1st mold) and Coquille River (LE)
Mike

Any of the southern belles.Especially St Augustine

134 Key West, 135 Ocracoke and 138 St Augustine

Stephanie

138 St. Augustine
134 Key West
136 Hilton Head

Dale

142 Holland, 129 New London Ledge and 125 Portland Head in that order.

I'm missing Cape Hatteras #1 and Coquille River, but I don't expect to ever get either one.

Barb

Keep 'em coming folks. Its great to see wish lists and people still looking for those special pieces.

I would like to get:
West Quoddy
Portland Head
Nubble

Top of my very long list:

HL112 Sand Island

HL113 Fort Niagara

HL164 Pemaquid

I know they are out there but the cash is not there yet. New allowance after 1st....

Chuck

Portland Head LE
Portland Head LE
Portland Head LE

1) Split Rock (mismarked!)
2) Any early California piece - still love the old ones best....

138 St Augustine
604 New Pt Loma
132 Ponce de Leon

Of these three, I've had opportunities to buy New Pt Loma and Ponce de Leon, just not the cash. I've never seen St Augustine - anywhere. I don't even know what it would go for today. Greenbook values tend not to hold up as of late. If anyone has a guess, I'd be curious.

Don't have the original Hataras or Coquille and never will. Also don't have the Split Rock MI - will never have that one either.

Kathy

194 Sanibel (LE)
200 Navesink (LE)
225 Hillsboro (LE)

I know all three are available, I just haven't had the money to purchase them or haven't found them at a great deal (Steal) yet.
