| First introduced at the 1997 Collectors Reunion, the thumbnail size
lighthouses were originally conceived by Founder and President Bill Younger as something
he could use as a gift for children during store events.
True to the detail of Harbour Lights larger
scale lighthouse, the bottom is even covered with our trademark green suede felt. 2,000 of
each of the lighthouses were made for 1997. No more remain.
A new set of thumbnails was produced for the
1998 Collectors Reunion. The production quantity for the 1998 Thumbnails is smaller (under
1,200 each). 700 sets were given out at the 1998 Reunion and the remainder
were put
under Bill's exclusive control to use as he wishes! He reports they are now
all gone!
