Lately I have been reading all the post in this thread and have not said anything regarding the offering of HL pieces, including the "No. 1's" for a $250 donation.

I am very puzzled by this most recent offering that includes the No. 1 pieces which I hope someone can clarify and "shed some light on the subject".

I thought the majority of the No. 1 pieces were purchased by William Booth of Texas (texaslighthouselover) a few years ago when the Founders Collection went originally up for bid in 2006?

The reason I ask, is because I personally own the No. 1,HL145 - Assateague, VA, which is listed under Tier 1 above and the No. 1, HL310 Mahota Pagoda, CHINA, listed under Tier 3 above.....

So is Bill Booth presenting this offer or is it Bill Younger? I'm confused. I also think the list above is NOT correct in regards to the current availability of No. 1 pieces.

In light though, I think a "paint Sample" would be neat and encourage anyone to donate to the cause being presented!
