Helped a friend identify a US boy scout good luck token dated 1910 he found while relic hunting nearby. Swastika prominently displayed on the back.
The swastika was long considered a sign of good luck until misappropriated by the Nazi regime. Obviously it is the use of the symbol/tool not the symbol/ tool itself. Lots of folks have been killed with hammers. When is the last time anyone recoiled at the sight of a hammer? Anyone who attributes evil to an object is looking to be offended and taking a simplistic view driven by the intellect of, well a hammer.
