Secrets

The wonderful texture of the iguanas' skin hides small messages in raised bumps. 'LPZ' stands for Lincoln Park Zoo. Peter's first close-up encounter with one of the leathery lizards was at the International Collectibles Expo in Rosemont in 1998, when some animals from the Zoo visited HK's booth with their keeper, Jaime. '2000' marks the millennium and 'Iggy' is a nickname for iguana. Collector Christopher Daly sent Peter a picture of his pet iguana 'Sneaker,' who whips the family dog 'Max' with his long green tail. An inscription under one of the branches reads 'Hi Sneaker.' Also on the tree is carved 'Toy 2,' a reference to the funniest movie Peter's ever seen, 'Toy Story 2.' The mouse is hidden inside one of the hollow branches and one of his legs can be seen poking out through a hole in the branch. Within both Version 1 and Version Infinity is an iguana head, looking strangely like a mythical dragon or dinosaur. Note the mould variation on the exterior (Version 1 shows a bird's head, which is removed on the Version Infinity).

Although Harmony Kingdom is still manufactured at Wimberley Mills near Stroud in Gloucestershire, since Martin Perry, the founder retired in August 2005, marketing and shipping of the pieces is done from the USA office at Harmony Ball Company in Ohio. This means that we have to consolidate our orders before having them shipped to us. We are currently taking deliveries about every 6 weeks and so there may be a delay with your order if the piece is not already in stock. We will advise by email. Hope this doesn't cause a problem.
