I was watching a movie on Netflix last night (The American Hobo) and some hobo nickels were shown. I looked into it and found some interesting samples. Does anyone here carve anything like them?

them?
Never heard of it before! Interesting web site. I remember many hobos from the 1940's. I was born 1939. I remember one gave me a bag of hard candy. Mom always said not to take anything from strangers, so I hid the candy for many months, then tried a piece. Was real candy and didn't kill me, so I ate the rest! Wish they waould have given me one of the carved nickels!
Thanks. Paul
