The listing, Handmade/Painted 1908 Leather Postcard has ended.

~NOTE!~ Please do not be offended by this auction! As you can see, this was made WAY before even the FIRST WW! Here is what our own United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has to say...

The swastika has an extensive history. It was used at least 5,000 years before Adolf Hitler designed the Nazi flag. The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being."

To this day it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Swastikas also have an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian European cultures.

In the beginning of the twentieth century the swastika was widely used in Europe. It had numerous meanings, the most common being a symbol of good luck and auspiciousness.

So...Now that we are all properly educated on the subject, let the bidding begin!

This truly unique little work of art is uncirculated, over 100 years old and in WONDERFUL shape! No rips, tears, holes or stains. The leather is buttery-soft and the painting is still gorgeous!
