Here are a couple items that caught my eye in the Winter 2021 issue of Bo Tales from the Original Hobo Nickel Society, Inc. Many thanks to Editor
Ralph Winter for passing along the text and images. The first is a lot item in the group's annual sale. -Editor
Lot 25 – Man Wearing Hat with Gold Hatband
Banks/DelFavero: This modern carving depicts a clean shaven man wearing a domed hat and sporting a grin that shows off his bright gold tooth. Both the hatband with decorative vertical lines and the tooth are 24K gold inlays. The hair is composed of neatly engraved lines. A nicely shaped and detailed ear sits just below the hat brim. Modification to the Indian's profile (nose and mouth) adds character to the carving. Nice reduction of neck and decorative work across the collar. Finely brushed fields. Stamped SA on reverse. Eye catching carving.
