It looks great! Any idea how the artist colored the light and moon? Now you need to get another one done...showing the kaboose as it's steaming off.

 

Very nice. Good pickup.

 

That's an awesome one

 

I like it, and is made all the better by the apparent fact that someone used their hands to create it. Congrats!

 

Would that be Reading PA?
When I was younger I ran away from New York City to live with a girlfriend in Reading PA... it only lasted a week because her parents kicked me out of the house and had to make my way back to NYC

 

Haven't you played Monopoly?


Seriously though, it's a type of locomotive.

 

Sooooo many trains, so little time...nice job and congrats!

 

Cool, cool, supercool!!!!!!

Any particular locomotive in mind when you commissioned it? Ah, I read the label, never mind!

Still a great acquisition.

 

that is really nice and I like it a lot..
in the things dad left me I found one of those he asked a man to do. I have a card from that man telling about the nickel. it looks different not the same as yours.

 

The moon and light are 24K gold.
Did you say caboose....sorry I only have 2

 

This seems somewhat fitting... and if not, who cares!

 

Very cool, and very nice!

Where did you find a hobo nowadays with skill?

 

Try eBay also http://www.hobonickels.org/

 

What's the mark (symbol?) on the bison's hind leg?

 

Some serious work. And the time it took.

 

"TM" the carvers initials

 

Wow, this is the most realistic (hobo) I've ever seen.
Seriously though, nice addition to your collection, congrats.

 

She still speaks highly of you !
That's a neat hobo !
