<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brent hobonickel, post: 5178953, member: 109300&quot;]Classic hobo nickel designs are a lot of fun!! The classic hobo nickels from the 1910s to 1930s were all done with hammer and chisel and push gravers. And they were done on full horn nickels the majority of the time. Some were carried around and shoe more wear. But the cut lines are easy to distinguish form an air powered graver. Hand engravers also take a lot of skill because one slip can be bad because the tools were very sharp.</p><p>&nbsp;I use a brass hammer and a chisel for the feather and the braid. </p><p>&nbsp;I always sign my work so they dont get sold as antique carvings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
