Help Identifying Hobo Nickel Carver

I’m looking for some help identifying a carver. I’ve reached out to the OHNS Facebook group with no luck and was wondering if anyone had seen this carver’s work. Appreciate any help.

    Great ‘Hachetface’ hobo nickel.
    I’ve never seen anything like it!

    30+ years coin shop experience (ret.) Coins, bullion, currency, scrap & interesting folks. Loved every minute!

    I dont think you'll ever know who carved this.
    Could be a one off. Unsigned and it will remain a mystery

    You can submit this to the OHNS. For a fee, they will render an opinion on the carver and creation date range.
    This appears to be a modern piece, and, I agree, you'll never know the carver.
