OK, HL oldtimers...answer me question:

Was the very first HL T-shirt the one with a silkscreen of the 4 original "stamp" lights on the front? or the one with a lantern room?

Each of the t's are shown on John's "Rosemont show visitors" page (use link below). The lantern room t-shirt worn by Kim Fuller shows up on some of the '96 Collectors Society literature in 4 different available colors, then "retiring" around '97 or so. I don't think it was the first one.

The "stamp" shirt worn by Dan Corbin does not show up on any of my literature, so I think it was possibly the first one. I think it was only available in white (one of the HL customer service reps seemed to think so also, but was not for sure)

Any insight? I know this is a terribly important issue to most of you,(LOL) so chime in.

...no guys, I am not on a quest for used t-shirts. LOL. I am not that sinile yet, I already have both and was just curious...

Jim Rutherford helped out a little...According to his memory:

The first HL t-shirt had a "Portland Head" on the front with "Harbour Lights" on the back, and a Southeast Block Island insert in the mix somewhere. This probably would have been the original 1994 t-shirt.

The "stamp" t-shirt referenced above would have been next, which was 1995.

The "lantern room" t-shirt also referenced above was of Point Pinos' lantern, and would have been 1996.

This concludes your daily lesson of obscure and unimportant HL studies.
