Bill said that Kim reminded him today that by the time they had decided to keep the #1 thru #10 they had moved production to Canada and that almost right from the start the factory in Canada was working from behind and couldn't keep up with their orders for dealers..

The main priority was to get product to collectors first and foremost, which meant they decided to wait on numbering 1 thru 10 until production caught up with orders.. The time frame on this was when they moved to Malaysia from Canada; which never matched the production needs of lighthouses with their need to fill orders.

That is why most of the #1 thru #10 lighthouses are Malaysian until they switched to China for their manufacture company.
