I recently got a Battery Point light from HL and it was easily the biggest piece I have purchased. It got me wondering if there were bigger ones out there. What is the biggest HL piece in your collection?
Wish List: Curtis Island - Camden, Maine. Piedras Blancas "the headless light" - San Simeon, California.

Navesink, NJ (Twin Lights) is the biggest piece both in my collection and that Harbour Lights ever made. I haven't weighed it but memory recalls it weighs between 10 and 12 lbs. I may be wrong on this weight but I have it on the bottom of my curio cabinet where it can't do any damage to anything below if the glass shelf should break.

How much does Navesink weigh? Mine is behind some others and I don't have a scale accurate enough to get down to the ozs.

Interesting stuff. Does weight correspond to height generally with these pieces? I would say Pharos is my tallest one.
Wish List: Curtis Island - Camden, Maine. Piedras Blancas "the headless light" - San Simeon, California.

Point Retreat, AK; Thacher I twin lights and Conanicut, RI. All
3 are over 3lbs.

Biggest piece would have to be Navesink. Without weighing them for comparison, heaviest would be either Navesink or my gold Waugoshance.
