I recently bought an Old Point Loma GLOW. When I was putting it in my curio cabinet, I noticed that the flag number is 722 with no prefix. Is this common or did I get lucky?

The GLOW Point Loma and GLOW Ponce de Leon were accidently shipped without the preface letter "A". I believe it is about the first 1,000 of each that are missing their "A" letter.
If others have these GLOW pieces and would like to post their serial numbers and whether or not it has an A letter, perhaps we can define the break more closely. If you have a "B" piece or higher, it is not necessary to post.

I am using Jim Rutherford's Harbour Lights Survival Guide for this information. A factory mixup caused some of the Ponce de Leons and Old Point Lomas to be numbered without the "A" prefix. Not all of any block of numbers are this way; a low number might or might not have the prefix Jim was writing about open editions in the previous paragraph to put his quote in the context that it was written. By the way a must have for any Harbour Lights collector is both his survival guide and his newsletter.

As I attempted to point out about 6 posts up the thread, by quoting Jim Rutherford, the results will be random. Not all of any block of numbers are this way; a low number might or might not have the prefix This means some of the low numbers will have the ‘A’ and some won't have it, and in no order. Just with the posts so far this is supported, there will not be a defined line where they stop or start. SaintWackoPaul '  Keep the Flame
