STEEL ENGRAVINGSARE LIKE YOUR DOLLARBILL IN THAT THEY ARE BOTH DONE ON A BLOCK OF STEEL WITH STRAIGHT CARVED LINES. I find it oneof the most amazing, that anyone could do this picture on a shinny steel plate but I have never understood how they put in the emotion. Done in classic watermelonboy style this is black memorabiliaat its best or worst depending on how you see it. . If you know the story behind this let me know. Its on a ship and Josh is poring steaming hot water onthe pigs tail end to teach him? the two ship mates laughwith approval. conditionis good for this and it will mat out or dip it and restore it.
