In today's bag I found the Smoking Abe. No pics...sorry...spent an hour at Best Buy trying to find a suitable camera to record my finds...skunked! So..I know I just saw one recently...can someone please post that again here...thanks...it's so cool! Way better than the counterstamped states or liberty bell or kennedy. Thanks to whoever comes to my rescue...you'll be my hero!

I think he means this.
I've found one.
There's also a variety w/ a pipe instead.

I have a '64 but he's smoking a pipe. Has the same oval smoke rings though.

Mine is on a 1963 and the rings are the same. But the ciggy looks different. Eventually I'll put a pic up. I'm getting smarter everyday...or every other day!
