[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 390878, member: 2844"]smcrae is in Canada, and cluttered is in the US. So both brass bookcases are in North America, and were probably made there. I have certainly never seen any here, or in any of the other European countries I know. But they know them in North America. This is a typical international forum thing, we Europeans looking at a North American item with our European set of references, just like North Americans look at European items with their set of references. Being on the forum can correct our insular viewpoints, on both sides of the pond. And beyond, of course. Just one note on the swastika, aside from it being an obvious shape for revolving bookcases. Up until the hijack of the symbol by the Austrian madman and his party ideologist, the swastika was a perfectly acceptable and even revered design all over the world. An ancient symbol of the sun, the cycle of life, and eternity. It still is to most people in this world.[/QUOTE]
