Interesting! Thanks. Bruce
Here's some from pics from my USB. It definitely shows the dots above the "O", so apparently it's of German origin. I spoke to Greg Brunk about...
Right down your alley, dwhiz. I never saw a train hobo before and I like it very much. Do you know who Hobo X is? Iassume it's the name of the...
Thanks for the info, guys. I'll have to get the coin out and look at it more closely. I'll put it under my USB scope and attach a picture if it...

I don't see this particular stamp listed in the references I have, George, but it looks very much like an English cutler's mark. It could be a...
Nice medal, yarm. The "horse rake" isn't bad either:D I like to see the related items, ads, patents, portraits, etc., that go along with the...
