Clothing Store Good Luck Token

[mrhvmd]

Searching near Portland, ME, I came across this interesting token. Most fascinating was the swastika symbol on the back. The American Clothing Co. was established in 1902 and is not in existence today. A little more googling led me to this site: http://www.mallstuffs.com/Blogs/BlogDetails.aspx?BlogId=340&BlogType=Spiritual&Topic=Swastika%20good%20luck%20coins%20of%20american%20clothing%20stores-Part%201

It seems that clothing stores across the country used this marketing device. Has anyone found any of these?

Unfortunately, the Nazis highjacked the swastika, which was a good luck symbol commonly used before WWII. I've never found a good luck/ coupon type token before. Always one or the other. Nice find.

Your token will date before 1930. It was considered a good luck sign before that and it dates back way way before Hitler. I have a couple tokens with that on it also. Nice find.
