Bolo Ties

I recently got motivated to make some bolo ties using old silver coins. My mother has given me a silver dollar her father got in Idaho during WWII when he was working as a carpenter building aircraft hangers. It is a Peace Dollar. I also have two Morgan silver dollars. I used the Peace dollar to make a bolo tie with materials I picked up at Tokyu Hands.

When looking around Ginza on the way to lunch with Bill one day I stopped in a coin shop and found that Japanese silver yen pieces from Meiji era are both very pretty and inexpensive. When I bought some high end bolo tie supplies from Utah I used them to make a 1912 Japanese silver yen bolo tie. Really nice! In a couple days I'll post a picture of the two.

Let me know if you want one too! I'll charge you double. Ha!
