And lo and behold there it was, under everthing else. I placed it with the wind coming off the lake.

And now it looks totally windblown, right, Bob?

The UPS man delivered our 2 lights to the house. We got number 215.

The other number was 1. What a great number to have....... .

It has found a home in our curio in a place of honor.

Thanks to Dave and everyone who made this possible.

Mary and Jeff

Congratulations on getting the "BIG #1".

Wow!! I've never known anyone with a #1. Congratulations, Mary and Jeff! That is too, too cool!

Congratulations to Mary and Jeff on the #1!!

Way to go Mary & Jeff...congratulations for getting the #1

Welcome, Mary and Jeff, to the #1 club!! It couldn't happen to two nicer Grandparents and Hoosier Lighthousing Club members!!

I have two friends that are in the middle of the potty training stage with their toddler, and this sounds familiar!

Congrats!

My sentiments exactly Jim. Can't wait to see what happens with #2. . . .

Sandy

Received #20 (Tony Stewart's Home Depot #) and #111 !

A heartfelt thank you to all of the dedicated forums members for their hard work with this project!
Thank you to the Younger crew for an exceptional exclusive for the Collector Forums!

We are truly blessed!

Grace, my light's having a real "flag snapper day" now. It's a little damp from the spray from the lake but doing well. My the way, now that #1 is identified, who's got #500?

Nice Piece! #101 & 178

Numbers 13 and 159 here. the 13 is our lowest yet.

Congrats to Mary and Jeff on receiving #1.

#254!

I realize I might be a little late in posting my numbers since I received the lighthouses late last week, but better late than never. I received numbers 59, 196, 246, and 247. The light is great, but the flag fits very loosely in the hole, so the jury is still out as to whether I like the light better with or without the flag. Thanks to everyone involved for a great light. All your hard work really paid off.

Scott F - Cut a small square (1/8") of clear plastic(from a sandwich bag) and lay it directly over the flag pole hole. Then take the flag pole and insert it into the hole. The flag pole will push the clear plastic into the hole and your pole should be tighter in the hole. I had to do that to my pieces and it works well.

It's nice to see the excitement as people announce the flag#'s of the latest rare piece being added to their collection. We need more of this!

Rich,...That's a great idea about correcting a loose flag pole.

Bob

Howdie everyone, we received ELL #23 and #154, and they are very nicely done. Job well done Harbour Lights!

Kat and Larry

#1 congrats Mary and Jeff. Did any of the clubs get a #1 in their goody box? We got a #9 once but a #1 is as good as gold.

Chuck

Well I've been wondering where mine were.

Finally went down to the PO Box and that's where they were! I only get down there every couple of weeks.

Looks like #33 and #147.

Has anybody commented on the ELL Pins yet? I think they came out great! Very fine detail and, according to the maker a true cloisonne pin.

Special Thanks to Harbour Lights/LHD for handling the shipping for the piece.

And special thanks to all the team members for a job well done. We've learned a great deal in this process!

Meant to do that, John! I think it is very well done. I got the two and Dave should be delivering a third one to me in Tidewater. One of them is pinned on my rain hat for Tidewater, along with the rest of my lighthouse pins. I'm going to see if I can handle all that weight on my head - no comments about it's being the only weight up there, now! :p

I thought the pin was very well done. Have added it to the drawer with my other pins. Haven't quite figured out what to display them on yet! Thanks for the tip on the fix for the flag-mine looks like there's a nor'easter coming in!

Debbie, it's very easy adding your avatar, so don't hesitate to try it. Of course, I realize you may want to put up your own. In that case, neeever miiind.

I thought the pin was well done also. I have it with my other HL pins in a shadow box.

Gayle, you've made Wacko status, too. Congratulations! Time to post your avatar.

Thanks Grace and it only took me four years. I need to stop being so chatty...

I'm not sure how to do the Avatar but would like to.

Number 175. Thanks to all who worked on this project.
MIke

The goodie box the Colorado Lighthouse Collectors Society received this year did not have any single digit pieces. We did received a #10 in last year's box.

The replies have stopped. There are a lot of low flag#'s unaccounted for. I wonder how many of these pieces went to collectors who aren't registered at the CF?

Bob

Good question! It would be nice of those that did buy one to register and let everyone know what number they got. It's not complicated to register. Even if they never post again...it would be nice to know. They evidently had enough interest in the piece to purchase one.

Got the first pin with the order, received the rest in the mail today. YES, they do look nice.

My third one came in the mail yesterday - directly from HL, not from Dave as I'd expected.

Hi yall, I got #92. Not the lowest but it is a 2 digit :rolleyes:

Number 44 here
Russ

I got mine in the mail yesterday. It's # 86.

I like anything with an 8 in it- only getting #8 or #88 would have been nicer. It's just fine as it is, though.

Dennis

Hi Everyone!

I received mine the other day and my number is 54. Thanks to all involved with the ELL. It is one good looking light!

-Todd

I need a little help here. I have not recieved my piece yet. I need the phone numbers so i can call to find out whats up. Any help would be much appericated. Thanks

J. D.,

I sent you an email as to why you did not have your ELL several days ago. If you have not received it, send me an email from your current email address and I will resend the info.

#391 arrived this morning, and I found the seahorse.

I recieved mine today. Number: 398

I also found the seahorse.

Post Number 7, Only 43 more to go.

Our numbers are 61 and 221. I love the color in the tower. What terrific workmanship.
Judy

I got mine todsy, #410.

Cyndi

Okay ...I'm a newbie and I am hoping that I will fit right in with all of you. I decided to jump onboard and order the "Exclusive ELL from Harbour Lights". Should be seeing it real soon!
Thanks Dave H. Glad that I didn't miss out on this chance to add this to my collection exclusively for the CF.

BB

BB- You'll be so glad that you did. It's a great piece!!!

BeaconBob, I don't think you will have a problem fitting in with the rest of the bunch. You will learn a great deal by staying in touch. The ELL is one of the very exciting things that go on in the CFs. Everyone has much to share and there are some folks who are really well versed about HL - even some members who are experts on the repair of damaged pieces. So stay tuned!

So...you'll never guess what I got in the mail today...

Dave....dang ...that was quick!

Thanks for including me in on this!

I guess for whomever is tracking this stuff...the number I got was #416.

BB

I recieved #268

Dale

Hey, Dale... Good to see you back posting again. Don't be a stranger.

#417 arrived today and has pride of place on the mantle piece already!

Wow - what a beautiful thing! The detail is incredible!

Thank you Dave for you co-operation in posting and customs-labels etc. And anyway THANK YOU for all your troubles!

Thank you to all who were instrumental in making this very special issue possible!!!!

Received mine last week. Looks Great !!!

I got flag #475.

Must be getting close to a sell out. Dave already has # 500.

I believe the remaining count is 16 plus a few special numbered pieces..... If you haven't ordered you should be thinking about it...

What are special numbered pieces?
HCS

single digit, an AP or so and the paint sample

Hope you are saving these for fund raising!
HCS

That's what they are for! (Fund-raising)
