Any chance that it might actually be a souvenir watch fob like this one?

Why are there swazticas on this? What was this place?

Prior to the 1930's and its adoption as a Nazi insignia, the swastika was widely used as a good luck symbol. It can be found on many tokens, pins, fobs, etc. of the early 1900's.

Chrysler Motors also used the swastica as a car emblem till prior to WWII.

Symbols identical to swastika have been used for thousands of years with different meainings. They are found in ancient history, American Indian Culture, and of course by the Nazis.

Straight from wikipedia:
"Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period. An ancient symbol, it occurs mainly in the cultures that are in modern day India and the surrounding area, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol. It was long widely used in major world religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

The swastika was the essential symbol of Nazism and the German Third Reich. Though once commonly used over much of the world without stigma, the symbol is no longer in general use in the Western world, because of its identification with Nazism."

So lets not get upset about a symbol...what happened was a horrible thing and will never be forgotten but let's learn from the past...not dwell on it.
