the rexall drug stores were a chain, in operation in the late 60's and 70's.. don't know if they still exist but there was one on church street 1 block from main street in high point north carolina during this period as i used to ride my schwinn orange crate chopper by it all the time......nice tokens.....gldhntr

Not sure, but what's with the little swastika looking mark on the Rexall token? I think the real swastika "arms" bent the other way, but very similar. Kinda strange...

I know the answer to that one....... Before the swastika became know as a symbol of Nazi, Germany, Hitler and such........ It was used as a symbol of peace .......... believe it or not........ which makes it hard to tell for which purpose it was intended.

Wow, didn't know that!

I just read the other day about the swastika being backwards and what it means. Here is a link that will tell you about it and about "lucky" tokens. They have the swastika on there backwards. http://www.luckymojo.com/goodluckcoins.html

The backward swastika was the symbol for a thunderbird in some American Indian art. Or should I correctly say the thinderbird symbol turned over is a swastika? JIM
