Well here is my story on the Pharos shipment...
Needles #2191
Trwyn Du #2191
Portland Bill #2171
Bell Rock #2191
and
Bell Rock again #2390

They messed up the shipment and didn't send me Ballinacourty. They sent 2 Bell Rocks by mistake. They said they will send me the Ballinacourty right out.

The shipment arrived this past Friday in otherwise great shape.

Trwyn Du - Low 2042, High 2323, Range 282

Overall Lowest Number - 2001
Overall Highest Number - 2395

What was that number again Paul?

I received another set of Pharos today. (Had to buy a set at a lower price than the first one I bought! Ouch! That was alot of beans!) All the numbers were between the range listed above except for one. It is:

Ballinacourty # 2014

Numbers on this piece so far:

#2014 - 2342 range 329

Randy, just why would one HAVE TO BUY another set at the lower price? Or are you just cost-averaging like we do with our stocks?? If you buy another 30 or so sets, then the cost-averaged price would be about $300 each - LOL In any event, you have two sets of a VERY LIMITED EDITION !!

I finally received my pieces in the mail yesterday.

Needles--2217
Bell Rock--2308
Portland Bill--2162
Trwyn Du--2184
Ballincourty--2343 (this is the highest # so far)

Right you are George! Now having two sets brought the average down a bit! Might be a good investment for the future. It also helps having an extra set since we live in "Tornado Alley" here in Ohio! Hopefully we wouldn't see another one. The last tornado hit two years ago about one mile from our house!

I also ordered two sets. One for me and one for a future investment.

Portland Bill 2132 & 2287
Trwyn Du 2201 & 2374
Needles Point 2112 & 2338
Ballinacourty 2017 & 2272
Bell Rock 2221 & 2223

no tents with any of them.

by the way I'm a new member this is my first reply.

Stephanie

Welcome Shortcake! Glad to have you aboard. Looking forward to more responses and posts you'll be making. Wasn't too hard, was it?

Welcome Shortcake! We are glad to see your posts.
Derith

Welcome Shortcake! And congratulations on a fine purchase!

Welcome Stephanie! Thank you for posting the numbers on your Pharos. They are a very nice set! Looks like you got the new high number on Trwyn Du. That will change the range numbers a little!

Received my Pharos collection yesterday!

Trwyn Dru 2384 Blue Felt Bottom
Portland Bill 2352 Green Felt Bottom
Needles 2315 Blue Felt Bottom
Bell Rock 2271 Blue Felt Bottom
Ballinacourty 2329 Blue Felt Bottom

I believe that I have the highest Trwyn Dru number so far. Also, I am not sure if the felt color is relevant but I thought it was interesting that 4 of them had blue felt and one had green.

Lighthouse Ghost

Just getting caught up with some of these topics:

I have 2 sets. I have a new low for Trwyn Du at 2039. The others are within the established ranges.

John

After reading Lighthouse Ghosts referance to felt color I had to go check mine. And well, mine too are all blue except Portland Bill it's green. I guess thier all that way? Anybodys different?

Stephanie

[This message has been edited by Shortcake (edited 08-23-2001).]

I believe Paul mentioned a while back that the Portland Bill's were made in China, so that's probably why they have the green felt.

I, too, have a Portland Bill, Eng. (2128)with a green felt bottom. After all the comments,
I just had to go and look. The others have
the blue felt. I noticed that there were no
tent cards but the thought never occurred to
me to call HL to see if they are available.
Notice, too, that the Pharos do not have a
Certificate of Authenticity signed by Kim,
like the LE's do. Everybody having fun Yet!!

Rich

The only additions to your numbers that I have is: Needles 2002
Ballinacourty 2348
I hope I haven't missed some of your posts on this information...Keep the flame from NELL....Frank Carbone

When I saw the prices for Pharos on eBay, I gave up on ever owning them. Then I found the World of Shopping site via this forum, and now I'm the proud owner of a set! They arrived in 6 days & were $288 including shipping. My favorite is Ballinacourty because, well... I just love Ireland. But they are all beautiful & no signs of poor quality. The numbers all fall within the range already noted here, but for the record:
Ballinacourty....2037
Portland Bill....2074
Needles Point....2247
Bell Rock........2280
Trwyn Du.........2338
Thanks so much for the tip!!

We received ours today....

Ballinacourty Point....2025
Bell Rock..............2278
Needles................2246
Portland Bill..........2073
Trwyn Du...............2341

Chris & Amanda

I have been watching the numbers and I wonder if anyone has given any consideration to swapping pieces inorder to try to wind up with same number sets. So far out of my two sets (10 pieces)only one number has been seen in these listings. And that is:
I (Shortcake) have Needles Point #2338
Jan has Trwyn Du #2338
wilsonj3 has Ballinacourty Point #2338

Note that I have only been looking for numbers that coenside with mine but I'm sure that there are plenty out there that would match with whatever you have. This might not be worth while for most of you but I thought I'd bring up the idea.

Looking forward to seeing what the rest of you think! Stephanie

I called HL today to find any info on tent cards for my set....much to my dismay they informed me that they never made any.

Amanda

Stephanie,

I am certainly open to the idea of swapping pieces in order to come up with a matching set. When I placed my order with The World of Shopping I asked for a matched set if possible. The best they were able to do was three pieces that matched. From time to time I search this thread to see if any of the numbers I'm missing show up.

Maybe we can swap them in Baltimore!?

Jack Wilson

I also like the idea of trying to match numbers to get a matched set. If someone sees numbers that could match someone's set, we should try to swap! Any ideas as to how we can do this would be great!

well for those of you who are going to Baltimore it shouldn't be a problem. Just make arragements with one-another and take the pieces with you to swap. As for me I can't go so I guess I'll have to depend on UPS if I find a swap that I want to make.

I have worked up a list of all the postings by flag numbers. This might help you find out who has a flag number that you are looking for.

See: PHAROS LIST

I hope I have been of some help! If not, I tryed!!!!

Note that there arn't many matches
Stephanie
