OK, John...now for some real confusion.

I have known individuals (or maybe even a dealer or two?) who felt that somehow having a sticker on the bottom of a limited edition light that says "Great Lighthouses of the World" with a 407 series number (like the first batch), made some collectors think they had purchased an open edition piece instead of a limited edition piece.

Therefore, some may have requested a new sticker from Harbour Lights with the newer HL177 number to place on theirs. This would then create an "A" editon serial number with the HL177 sticker on the bottom. Not a rarity in any way, or even a proper thing to do, but it has happened before. Food for thought!
