Continuation of part the first

If you're a hard core collector - a 'wacko' in the olde sense of the word - but your collection is still missing some of the key harder to find models - this straw poll is for you. If you're not - jump in anyway. :-)

What are the Top Three Retired Pieces you'd like to acquire next or reasonably expect to acquire next if you found them available? Answer in real-world terms based on the needs in your collection and what you think you might (stretch stretch) be able to afford.

Rgds,

I'm only missing Coquille River LE. I will probably never add it to my collection because of the high price it commands. I just can't justify spending that kind of money for one Harbour Lights.

If I win the lottery I would buy it, but that would mean buying a lottery ticket and I haven't done that for awhile.

Bert, I don't have many GLOWs but I do have the revised Boston Harbor. It's a very nice affordable model of a light I've seen several times. One of these trips I'll have to get out to the island to see it up close! smile

I'm missing Cape Hatteras #1 and Coquille River, but I don't expect to ever get either one.

138 St Augustine
604 New Pt Loma
132 Ponce de Leon

Of these three, I've had opportunities to buy New Pt Loma and Ponce de Leon, just not the cash. I've never seen St Augustine - anywhere. I don't even know what it would go for today. Greenbook values tend not to hold up as of late. If anyone has a guess, I'd be curious.

Don't have the original Hataras or Coquille and never will. Also don't have the Split Rock MI - will never have that one either.
