Notes
Content: Printed on border: " 'To the wearer of swastika will come from the four winds of heaven good luck, long life and prosperity.' " "The swastika is the oldest cross, and the oldest symbol in the world. Of unknown origin, in frequent use in the prehistoric items, it historically first appeared on coins as early as the year 315 B.C. The swastika has been discovered on this continent among the ruins of Mexico and Central America and is at present frequently used by the Indians of the Southwest as an ornament and amulet. The following numbers are shown actual size. They are all sterling silver. The enamel is dark blue." Includes additional text.
