Could someone help me find a list of the Harbour Lights Skybound Balloons. I would like to know how many were made and get a list and pictures if possible.


Thanks,
Mary

This is the list put together by Daniel some time ago and should include all the balloons made. If you do a search on Google, you should be able to see what they all looked like by taking a few minutes and checking out the various listings. Visit Collectors World website and they show pictures of the first 12 that were put out and I'm sure you can find the rest of them by doing a little searching through the differenmt web site from your Google search. The following is Daniel's Post -

"Not too long ago there was some discussion about the Sky-Bound Balloons not being a Harbour Light product. That just didn’t go right with me so I researched it and found that the statement was not totally true. Yes the Sky-bound Balloons are no longer produced by Harbour lights and are now the product of Younger and Associates. But when the sky-bound balloons first came out they where considered a product of Harbour Lights. They had the Harbour light name on them and they even had a direct link from the Harbour Light web site.

I check with Younger and Associates and found out that they still have many of the balloons with Harbour Lights name on them and the only ones that don’t have Harbour lights name on them are the new releases. Eventually as the old stock gets used up the Younger and Associates name will be on them. But as it stands now the following have “by Harbour Light” written on them.

Even though many of these don’t have lighthouses on them they do have HL’s name on them and not Younger and Associates. Yes they are now being sold by Younger and Associates but they were made under the Harbour Lights trademark. I feel that this earns the listing above the right to be listed in this forum under “Harbour Lights General Products”.

The following listed below are the balloons that was made after the selling of Harbour lights and have the Younger and Associates name on them. These balloons are not Harbour light products.

SB023 Faulkner's Balloon **
SB024 Village Scene Y & A
SB025 Harvest Bounty Y & A
SB026 Summer Escape Y & A
SB027 Canadian Flight Y & A


** Made exclusively for Melissa's Hallmark by Younger & Assoc.
(This balloon was an order by Melissa's Hallmark but they
lowered the size of the order after Younger and Associates had the balloon manufactured.
They are now selling the leftovers and no more will be made.)"

Since I have made that post I have listed two more of the rare ones.
They are the "Remax" and the
"Longaberger home office" skybound ballons. My educated quess would be a production of 500 for each of them. That was the production amount for the St Augustine, so i would asume the others are the same.

Have you noticed how crazy the market is for the Skybound on ebay. It looks like it slowed down alittle but many of the ballons where selling between $100 and $300.
