Historic America Lighthouse Collection Illuminated Figurine

This item is an illuminated decorative figurine depicting a lighthouse with an adjacent keeper's cottage, part of the 'Historic America Lighthouse Collection.' The main lighthouse structure is primarily beige or light tan, featuring a roughly textured, almost stucco-like finish, suggesting it might be made of a resin composite or ceramic material. It has a cylindrical body tapering slightly towards the top, with a small square window cut out on its side. The top lantern room is black with distinct crisscross window panes, possibly clear or frosted plastic, designed to emit light. The base of the lighthouse and the ground around the cottage are sculpted to resemble natural landscape, possibly rocks and grass, in earthy tones of green and brown. The small, separate keeper's cottage is rendered in light brown or tan bricks with a darker brown peaked roof, complete with two small chimneys, each topped with an orange-brown cap, and small white windows. The entire piece sits on a common sculpted base. A white electrical cord, coiled around the base, indicates that the figurine is designed to be plugged into an electrical outlet to illuminate the lighthouse. Attached to the cord is a metallic, possibly brass or gold-painted, medallion. This medallion clearly states 'HISTORIC AMERICA LIGHTHOUSE COLL.E.C.T.I.O.N' around its perimeter, with a detailed image of a lighthouse in the center. The item appears to be in good condition with no visible damage, chips, or significant wear. The craftsmanship suggests it is a mass-produced collectible item, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, designed for decorative display.
