Mine was a brass A plaque for a head stone of a good friend of mine and his wife. I did an iron fence with a large Iron gate with his information on the archway and gate. His wife I did a rocking chair with an unfinished quilt on it and down to the floor. I put her information on the quilt squares.

Any pics of these unusual engraved items would be interesting to see!

i'd gladly do that. there's a problem tho, i never had a decent camera at that time. i missed out on the foto side of things for a long time.

A nickel silver plaque that held the ostrich feather plume in the center of an elephant headpiece for the Barnum & Bailey Circus... sometime in the early 70's?

Also made them a coupla pairs of mocassins for the monkeys and pads with special ribbing that they put on the horses. The mocassins were to keep the monkey's toenails from scratching the horse and the ridges sewn into the pads were to give them the traction they needed to get aboard the horses....
