    Interesting conclusion for 2012

    As 2012 draws to a close, I thought I'd post one last conclusion for the year.

    I believe it was Gordon Williamson who first pointed out the similarity of the Orth-design U-Boat eagle to Sam the Eagle from the Muppets.

    Well, I just noticed that the Wilhelm Hobacher Minesweeper has a very similar eagle head. It's a toss-up to me as to which is the better match, but at any rate there's only one logical conclusion:
    Jim Henson must have supplied working dies to both companies.

    Best regards,
    ---Norm

    P.S. Happy New Year!

              Great observation Norm! They both look very good, with the thick brow and acute downward scowl on both badges. But I think the Hobacher might take the cake, well done my friend.

              Happy New Year!!
