Default Hobo Wearing A Barrel For Clothes entitle "Lost My Britches"

Years ago, in the early 1970's, I traded coins with a collector who made
buttons and stickers and rubberstamps, etc and one of my favorites had a
picture of a hobo in a barrel holding a sign saying "I made mine as a coin
collector." I often wonder what happened to him. They were quite well
done. This reminded me of that. Very well done!

He became a dealer, and now even the barrel is gone!
