Thanks for the kind comment, Joe!
The bolsters are a bit "busy" for my taste, but they're well done. And, I don't know exactly what it is with the jigging, but I sure do like it!

Gary Peregrin - You might be interested in this. I posted it in a thread back in August 2014.

Up through the 1960s, if you were on board a ship, the U.S. Navy paid off in $2 bills. So come payday, we'd line up at the disbursing office and were paid with $2 bills. It was possible because we didn't make much money in those days. I was a Seaman (E-3) in 1965 aboard the USS Henley (DD 762) and my pay was roughly $90.00 per month. Anyway, after taxes, I got about $42.00 every two weeks so every payday I got 21 $2 bills. The Navy did this for the U.S. Treasury in an attempt at keeping the $2 bill in circulation. Didn't work in the long run but you could tell when it was a Navy payday as all of a sudden $2 bills would start showing up around town.

That's a really interesting tidbit, Ed. I never heard that before. I think you guys were underpaid!
