If you had one each of all the Harbour Lights Lighthouses. Excluding any multiples of variations, modifications, or errors, the LLOM and the GLOWS, how many pieces would you have?

This would include the Limited Editions, Special Limited Editions, and Christmas pieces. Counting from HL 101 to present, not counting the 2009 releases.

Cyndi, I'll leave the long answer to someone else but the short answer, as some of us have found out, is too many

An 8 x 12 foot room with two eight foot walls, floor to ceiling with lighthouses and another 8 x 12 foot room with only one 8 foot floor to ceiling shelf. When people come to our house they usually say something like , " I see you like lighthouses." (403 of these beauties)

Somewhere around 783
Just take the answer from the offical collectors guide which states there was 723 total Harbour lights from 1991 to 2006 and add 60 for the two years and we have something close to 780

The 783 includes L.E., Glow's, LLOM, minature, ornament, spyglass, thumbnail, guardian, Pharos, British Little Lights and assessories.

Boy Daniel you must have deep pockets! I am kind of new I guess with maybe 120 pc. lots of pins and asst small goodies.

I am looking to buy a Howard Miller Curio cabinet which I like to display some of the pc's. I don't want it to look like a display cabinet in a store though.

According to my Invantory records I have 397 LE's however this dose count in multiples of a few variations and extras that can be sold.

I also have 10 Pharo's (two sets)
16 GOLW's no duplicates
53 LLOM's no duplicates
52 Orniments which do include duplicates
3 Spyglass Sets should list them as LE's because they have LE numbers, but I consider them as a different line.
35 Thumbnails which dose include duplicates (many duplicates) The 2005 Regional had 9 Thumbnails and I have 2 sets so that alone accounts for 18.
13 Anchor Bay's no duplicates except for the Mackinaw (one white, one red).

And I wonder "WHY I'M IN THE POOR HOUSE"??? Couldn't be because I've spent all my money on Harbour Lights, could it?!!!!

Some day my children are going to scratch their heads and say "why did Mother spend all our inheritance on this stuff and what are we going to do with it now"?

My collection currently stands at 242 pieces:
159 LE & GLOWS
53 LL
18 SPYGLASS
7 ORNAMENTS
5 THUMBNAILS

My displays consist of two 8 shelf 3'X6' Howard Miller curio cabinets in our family room and, a 3 shelf 18"X28" display case and 25" display stand for LLs in my den.

I started collecting HL in 2000 and continue to enjoy these wonderful lighthouse replicas.

GUESS THE NUMBER OF BEANS IN THE JAR!


EMMM,,,,
ABOUT 400

I would say, "All of them!"

Bob

Tooooooo many! I have 6 large curios and 2 table top curios. I am with Bob when I say "all of them" and then some. However, I only collect LEs and Anchor Bays. I also have the British Isles, Pharos, a complete set of thumbnails, a complete spyglass set, a few LLOMs, the lens ornaments and 6 GLOWS. And unlike some others, they are ALL displayed in the same room as my Florida Gators/Cleveland Browns football(21 footballs, 8 basketballs) and mini helmets(56 helmets) collection. WALL to WALL garbage as my wife puts it.

Yes I know shortcake, my brother tells me that it will all look nice out by the road after I croak, nice eh?
Boy some of you guys have kept better details on your stuff. I better update my list. I just use microsoft word, and made my own simple list, but I can see adding LE's,etc. to it as well as year, oh well another project. I have all I can do to get this snow shoveled.

TerryO,

Depending on the size of your collection.... An invantorey can really be a big help when it comes to insurance.

we currently have 146 in total ... but then I never claim to be complete in any way in my collection!

My collection is everything HL's has made, plus a lot of variations.. The Official Collectors Guide is my collection plus everything that has been produced since John and I put the guide together..

Over 900 on display in 8 cabinets.. Inventory is on a Word document, I keep meaning to enter into an excel spread maybe now that I am retired I can get that done..

I have 468 unduplicated items from #101 to 906. I estimate that I am missing about 50 to compltete the series. I am missing only 3 in the LE and 5 in the GLOWS. I have the five in the Pharos set that I just recently acquired. I also have 44 undulicated ornaments by Harbour Lights. I do not collect the LL or the lightships and boats. I have about 130 on display and the rest in storage. I also have about 80 duplicated items in this series of numbers. I developed my own spread sheet that includes the name, location, model number, flag number, special features, year made, date aquired, my cost, and place of purchase.

I have 255 Harbour Lights.
