Got this a week before Christmas in the mail. It was a gift from the maker of it. I traded some tokens for an old dog tag a month ago.
To my surprise a package arrived in the mail a week before Christmas with the money clip/ hobo nickel in it....

Nice Clip. If by chance you have an interest in Hobo Nickels, check out this book: The Hobo Nickel by Joyce Ann Romines. Pretty much an encyclopedia and history of Hobo Nickels and their makers. Tons of Pics.

I'm amazed what the sold prices go for on some designs on eBay, it seems an open market not all one designer, if you can make cool stuff it'll sell high!

I'd estimate that one at $200 at least.
