In early 2002, I visited the Outer Banks, NC with my son, and photographed Bodie and Cape Hatteras lighthouses. My son, also a HL collector, visited a HL dealer there, and purchased his Thomas Point, MD LE. I, not familiar with Harbour Lights at the time, purchased small Scaasis Bodie and Cape Hatteras pieces as mementos of our visit. After returning home, I became interested in Harbour Lights, joined the HL Collectors Sosiety and now have more than 250 HL pieces in my collection. True, Scaasis pieces cannot compare to the quality and detail of Harbour Lights, but not for my purchase of those two small pieces, I probably never would have become a HL collector.
