Found this item detecting yesterday where we had found World War 2 item.  Had a person tell me this was pre-World War 2 and not during the war.  Kind of spooky.

The swastika is backwards, more Buddhist than European. 👍 

Nice find, ca.1920s -30s. They sell for around $50.

What's on that token is not a German/Nazi swastika, the German/Nazi swastika the right angles always go to the right, the one on the token goes to the left and is for good luck in some cases it will to the right, that symbol has been used for a long time as a good luck symbol, by many cultures and religions including native Americans for thousands of years.

Thanks very much for the information.  I was not aware of the symbol history.
