It is called a hobo nickel. these were typically hand carved indian head nickels in the 1930's. Like our hats, they are great pieces of americana.

Mr. Paladin said:This photo is from last weekend when I took my wife to the Meyerson Symphony Hall in Dallas for her birthday. I wore my newly acquired Borsalino homburg after tweaking it a bit more from the previously posted pictures. The grey suit brings out the grey tone in the hat much more so than does a black suit. I was very pleased at the several favorable comments it received from strangers there. It has replaced my Selentino Alpha for first choice wear!

Not-Bogart13 said:My latest. I'm a little unsure about this one, so I welcome any constructive criticism.
