JimmyO Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 My Hobo Got an OSCAR! This is my latest Hobo carving. It's been on my list, in my head and on paper for over a year now. Thought maybe I should 'GIT ER DID' since there is allot of Oscar buzz now. This is for all the movies that have been made over the years that had Trains and Hobos in it. Some which have won Oscars or have been nominated, at least. Danger Lights California Straight Ahead Riding The Rails Gold Rush Emperor of The North The American Hobo Polar Express The Block Signal ...and many others Sittin', waitn' for a train to hop, Flippin' a Nickel with his new Oscar. The film strip has a train scene w/mountains, trees, rocks and of course THE END at the end. Oscar is inlaid in 24kt gold. After I finished I realized that I should have put a handle on his cup- lets just imagine it is on the backside! Comments and I guess criticism also, are welcome! Please enjoy Thanks, JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred E. Zweig Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 What is the scale? Looks like a nickel. Great job. I answered my own question. I did a search on "Hobo Nickels". Very interesting and quite a history. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
