Default Re: Announcement: New Set of Sharpening Templates avaible soon !

Mrthe (Paolo) has made castings of two of his hobo nickels ("GoldTooth Skull" and "The Mummy"). He made the casting to be given to people that purchase the "Mrthe" three piece template sharpener set. For people that have purchased the set before the castings arrived to me from Paolo, your casting should be arriving this week separately from your ordered templates. There is a limited supply of both of these castings. To make them last longer we will randomly select one or the other to go in with the template orders. So you would be receiving the "GoldTooth Skull"or the "The Mummy".

(Update edit: We have now ran out of the gift castings. Thank you again Paolo for making them!)

"The Mummy"coin Paolo gave as a gift to my daughter Kaitlin. Kaitlin is finishing up her graduate studies at Johns Hopkins. Her thesis is on mummies so this coin Paolo did for her is perfect. He even engraved Kaitlin's name in Hieroglyphics on the coin. Thank you again Paolo for your kindness with this and everything you do!

To see more of Mrthe's hobo nickel carving check out his new site that he recently updated. http://www.mrthehobonickels.com/
