Dan769 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Welcome aboard! No I don't collect them, but if they all have that quality I may be tempted. What does something like that 1913 cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Nice hobo, Bill. I am not a collector of them but I think they are pretty cool. I have seen your designs here and there on the net and they are quite impressive! Now long does it take to do something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
