<p>[QUOTE="thefathand, post: 302556, member: 5993"]Please, I know swastika's are not cool!! If you are sensitive to seeing them, then this may not be the thread for you. My guess is this Jade piece was made in the early 1900's but that's just a guess from some quick research I did. Most collectors know that the swastika was originally used in a positive way, before Nazi Germany made them bad!! They were used in the far East by Buddhist, Hindus and Jainism and still are used in some countries and religions. They were also used in the US, to mean good luck and good health. Here's a pic of a 1910 Boy Scout medal that a shoe company used to give out with the purchase of their boys shoes. At any rate, I ran into this item on ebay the other day for a decent price, threw the seller an offer and the rest is history. I just rec'd it on Saturday. My question, is does anyone know anything about Jade with swastika's? How much they're worth and the best way to sell them? Any comments?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]98941[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]98942[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]98943[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]98944[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]98945[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
