Some nice ones ..... Number 11 and 12 are my favorites - Wife has two and she is looking for two more ..... She got the bottom one for under $15 but the top one cost her a C Note - it has gold inlaid into the fireplace - it is a pretty nice example, very detailed

I'm a member of a hobo nickel group on Facebook and the artist part of me is constantly amazed by what some of these guys can do ... the numismatist cringes just a tiny bit when a nice coin is used though lol.
Rest in Peace

I like the first few, the modern pieces don't impress me.

Wasn't aware that there were Hobos with the reverse carvings.The box car and steam engine are the ones I like.
