Hallelujah I'm a Bum ...



The silhouette on the left is a scuff mark in concrete.
The silhouette on the right is a "hobo nickel".
Of course the hat is a little different, and the image on the left is looking up.

But I still see the resemblance!
Do you?

    Verrry cool I've never heard of or seen a hobo nickle before. I assume they are nickles carved by hobos in the thirties???
    It's a great match too.

    Yes, there's a definite resemblance. I've also never seen a hobo nickle before, very interesting.

    This is great! The one on the left looks like it's wearing one of those Scottish golf caps, or whatever they are.
