WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST DOUBLE DIGIT LIGHTHOUSE?

For those that have a double digit what was your first one?
How or where did you get it?
When did you get it? (if you remember)

My first double digit was back in 1998
It was a Cape Florida #66
My dealer by mistake got the double digits that was intended for the sister dealer.
Ever since that I got hooked on saving double digits.

Before last April I had only 2 HL's in my lighthouse collection, so it's easy to remember my first double digit one.

If was Jeffery's Hook, purchased via an Ebay auction last April.

My first double-digit came as part of my auto ship #87 sometime in the later part of 2000 or the begining of 2001. I really can't remember which HL it was. Approximately two years later I was fortunate enough to get auto ship #23.

If you desire to add a 2-digit piece to your collection, see my post at the Trading Post of the CF.

My double digits are reunion pieces:

#66 Hooper's Strait - '01
#66 Hooper's Strait Mini - '01

#55 Waugoshance - '05
#55 Waugoshance Mini - '05
#55 Cheboygan Crib - '05

My Maryland and Michigan "Dinner at the Light" pieces are not numbered. Since Mel's Round Island is, I wonder if anyone else has numbered "Dinner" lights. Inquiring minds want to know???? confused

Kind of upside down there, Gracie. As your age went up, your numbers went down.

Margret,

I purchased my double digit Crossover Island for $38.00 + s/h $10.00! I thought I got quite the deal and more than affordable!!!
So, don't give up hope-just have to be in the right place at the right time! wink

My "bad" Grace! eek My #36 is the Waugoshance mini and Reunion pieces. So I have 4 double-digits.

The Round Island is not numbered.


And yes I am back online for very short periods. Second surgery a little more uncomfortable, but saw doctor today and eye healing nicely. No more glasses for distance....just for reading. vhappy

I still have two #13's left, and a #14. Those flag#'s are on some not-so-popular pieces, but if you want to be able to say, "I also have #13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, & 19, let me know. That's a great run of numbers!

My first Double digit piece is Price's Creek #98.
I also have two other #98 pieces. I never set out looking for these double digit numbers but some how they came my way.

I do not have a single double digit Harbour Light piece. To be truthful, it has never been a priority of mine. smile
