Rhett YeakleyI tend to agree with what has been said above regarding the item in question, and have little to add to the discussion as to whether the item should or should not be included in any given auction.
That being said, I was at an antique store a few months ago and came across a postcard that really got me thinking. A scan is included below, the postcard has a 1907 copyright date on front and the text at bottom of scan is on the back of the postcard.
The reason for posting this is after reading the back of the postcard I was honestly sad that a symbol that for thousands of years had meant something good and wonderful to so many could be tainted and ruined for time and all eternity by the misdeeds of a tyranical maniac and his followers. It just reiterates how powerful a symbol can be, both good and bad.
