8/1998 - OK, a small disclaimer...while this site features lots and lots of information and images related to Homer Laughlin China Company (HLC) products
and I am a member of the Homer Laughlin China Collectors Association (HLCCA), I am still just a fanatical collector trying
to do my small part to educate anyone willing to stop by and look around.  There is no formal relationship, implied or otherwise,
