Numbered limited editions P.O. Box #1, North Pole Hawthorne Porchlight
Collections.designed by Gerry Hoover. These are beautiful little buildings
and my photos don't do the set justice.
I will be selling the buildings soon -- boxes are in storage and I need to inspect each piece before offering them for sale.
When available, they will be listed at http://home.earthlink.net/~elfannex.

Buildings came in boxes like the one shown at right-- because they were
not very memorable, many buyers did not keep the outside boxes, only the inside
styrofoam cartons. Not enough pieces have been appearing on the secondary
market to judge whether lack of a box affects the value.

 |
|
Buildings include a certificate of Authenticity and Registry
in a little plastic envelope. |
Accessories are nicely packaged in rigid plastic formed
to fit the pieces inside individual cartons. Although the boxes are
labeled "Treasured Traditions," a name that doesn't appear with
the buildings, the bottom of each accessory is clearly labeled as a part
of the PO Box North Pole (sic) collection.
