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."
