Calef's and Hampshire Pewter lend a hand to Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse

Hampshire Pewter has just released a beautiful new pewter ornament depicting Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, NH. And from now through August 2010, when you buy this keepsake at Calef's Country Store in Barrington, NH, 20% of the proceeds will be donated to Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse. This also applies to the lighthouse cheese board depicting Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, as well as a letter opener.






Below is a video of Hampshire Pewter President Harold Guptill with Joel Sherburne of Calef's Country Store.
