Just plain crazy
 

it looks like a good luck token to me, the swastika was a good luck symbol long before it was used by the nazi's ,.....do some research about the symbol and it won't seem so f-ing crazy.
 

Thanks for the Info, Looks like it is an advertisement token , I looked it up and found another one found in Tenn for a different company in Tenn , Must be pre WWII if someone put it on a token , I don't think it would bring good business after with Hitler made it stand for.
 

Here is a link to a Website with and explanation of where and what these tokens are from and when they are from

Good Luck Tokens with Swastikas

There are so many different ones

Membership Emblem of the Don't Worry Club

Mine was a worry token
It says that they are from the 1910s to the 1930's with good luck tokens
until WWII that Hitler adopted the symbols for his self
 

I found one of those years ago. It was for good luck until Hitler got a hold of it.
 

yup its an advertisement token, actually the boy scouts of america had the same token but the back had BSA info
 

Those are pretty cool once you get past the obvious re-imaging of the swastika from the Germans. My favorite one is the Swami -- dp bob found one of those. Nice find.
 

Found a couple like that over the years. Got that swami with the swastika on the crystal ball one two years ago in a parkway dig.

You are hunting some happy ground! Keep 'em coming!
