Description: Harbour Lights Special Event Exclusive Hatteras North Carolina On The Move #632 made in 2000 used in box in excellent condition. Signed by B Younger (see photos)does not have registration but has display info#632 unknown in this series.Made of painted resinApproximately 7 " high x 9" x 5" Harbour Lights was founded in California by Bill and Nancy Younger along with their daughter Kim Andrews in 1990. The first releases of the new company, HL101-HL117 were made available for sale in 1991. Each of the initial releases had a planned edition of 5,500 pieces each. Once that number was created and sold, that lighthouse would no longer be produced and would be "retired" forever. Approximately 250 of each of the original 17 were cast in a local California factory. It was HL's intentions to begin production on a small scale and when the original order was nearly sold out, another 200-250 would be produced. That would keep going until all 5,500 were produced or the Youngers decided that it was taking too long to sell out and would "retire" the piece early. Shortly after the initial order was delivered to Harbour Lights, the California company went out of business. The Youngers found another factory in Canada (Castle Studios) to produce their lighthouses and production was moved there. The Youngers were never very happy about the quality of the Canadian pieces and after a short time (two years), a new factory in Malaysia was found that could produce the company's lighthouses with much higher quality at a competitive price. The Youngers severed ties with Castle Studios and all Harbour Lights pieces were then manufactured in Malaysia. When production prices started to rise exponentially in Malaysia, the search was on to find another factory that could produce their lighthouses at a reasonable price. Right around the turn of the millennium, HL was approached by factories in China. The Chinese pieces were not only competitively priced, but the Chinese also had the ability to produce sculptures with even more detail than the Malaysians could. Production was then moved from Malaysia to China where it remained for the duration of Harbour Lights' existence.
