    1913 railroad cop nickel

    this was a carving i did on a 1913 buffalo nickel for a collector, the subject being a railroad or yard cop smoking a cigar , this was a polite term, the hobos had other names for the rr cops...i read a lot of books on hobos and a lot of hobos were mained or killed by the railroad cops in the early days..
