Looks like the fellow on Dutch Boy paint cans to me. (vbg)

The new models look great - I'm particularly enamored of Haig Point and its marvy palm.

But it is The Pharos Collection and overseas sales that, imo, brings the most significant news. (Obviously the fruits of BY's photo junket to England - what a great tax write-off!) This will be a fascinating marketing effort to watch unfold and hopefully we will be gaining new forum members and chat participants from the British Isles and elsewhere. (Be nice to these newbies even if they do wear bright red jackets and line up in rows out in the open field. ) Sometimes we forget lightkeeping is a noble tradition that pre-dates our own country. We may gain a wealth of new information and lighthouse lore that could surely 'delight' us. Perhaps even a Euro-vessel for A/B. This could be big, folks - I'm rooting for the success of the Pharos Collection, sight unseen.

I hereby dub the doll Beanie Bill.
