Default November Pick Up Thread

Posted By: Steve M.

but it is interesting.

Pictured here, together with a d311 Holland from my collection, is a Pacific Coast Biscuit Company store display tin that I just picked up thanks to Mark's sharp eye.

While the Trade Mark in the center appears at first glance to be a swastika it is in fact a Native American symbol for "Good Luck". This dates to the early 1900's well before the notorious Nazi regime in Germany. I have confirmed this with both a granddaughter of the founder of the Company and with a renowned past poster on this board.

Hopefully no one will find this post offensive.
