| This
explanation of Artist's Proof Lighthouses is taken from the
Harbour Lights website: |
| "Artist's
Proof (AP) - a limited number of early finished
and painted lighthouses used in the final paint-approval process
and intended to preview the item to dealers at rep showrooms or at
Collectible Shows. In the early years,
these pieces had no marking on the flag
and the words "Artist Proof" or "Paint Sample" may have been
handwritten on the bottom felt.
|
| In recent
years, "AP" is hand-printed on the flag and a paper label on the
bottom may include the words "Artists Sample". The coloration of
AP's may differ slightly from the finished piece. Typically
between 10-15 APs are made in total." |

The
Lighthouse shown above is an "Artist's Proof", which is used
by the artist to test paint colors prior to regular
production. |
|
Artist Samples,
or Artist Proofs, are difficult
to find & very rare. |
 |
| Here is a picture of
the flag on the base - it is hand written with "AP". |

|
 |
|
Here is a picture of the bottom of
the lighthouse, so that you can see the label. |
|
It identifies this lighthouse as an "artist proof". |
|
The label has been damaged. |
