LOL thank, I do know that much. want to know if it is something that comes off a building or what.

It could be a WHW (WinterHilfsWerk) badge. I think nothig official.

I think it's too large for a badge--is it made of ceramic, bakelite, or ? It looks like a decorative wall tile.

Hm, I cannot open the full sized image. What lies around it? Have you got the measures?

[lauraly]

it is about 4"x 4" made out of cast iron or similar. That is a medal next to it to get an idea of the size.

National Socialist Tea Trivet?

The Swastika in a diamond shape makes me think Hitler Youth. Door or wall plaque maybe?

[Doug Kenwright]

Fire place hearth panel?

Maybe

Hi, I just wanted to mention that it might not supposed to be "tilted". Swastikas have been used for a long time.

In Sweden ( where I'm originaly from ) there where buildings with swastikas inbedded. If they are still there, I don't know, but they where when I was a kid some 30 years ago. I also recall that we had elevators with a swatika on the "button board" or whatever you call it.

So who knows what this piece is. I like it though. It would be cool to use as a coaster at a party. Say: Oh, thank you but I brought my own coaster. And then pull it out of your pocket. Hehehe. If you find out what it is, let me know.

Take care.
