    Early BDM Stickpin

    Here is what I believe to be an early BDM Stickpin. As BDM items are not my specialty any input from others would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks and Happy New Years

    Its a piece of jewelry, the swastika was a good luck sign well before Adolf, and the combination with a four leaf clover, says it all.

      I agree, probably English or American, I would guess.

            Stick Pin

            Okay, so as an early American 1900's stickpin would the swastika have been a way to show support for the German party or just a coincidence being used as a good luck charm or jewelry during the same time period??
            I have seen one other of the exact same design but on a small clasp pin

              It was used a lot all over the world as a good luck symbol prior to the 1940s, but I believe that national socialists only adopted in the early '20s. It was used in the same manner as horseshoes, four leaf clovers and other like symbols.

                      Stick Pin

                      Very Nice items in demonstrating the use of the swastika being used as a symbol of good fortune.

                      LOVE the Coke item.

                      Thanks for all the input.

                        I have a safety pin type of the same pin,and heard years ago , it was a german pin, and not irish or good luck, but now can't recall where I found the information out about it. The helix'd pin is a good sign. I also have seen disagreances as to the origin of this exact swastika clovered pin, so not sure if we will ever know for sure.(I kept the one I found, just in case)

                            and here's the matching pin! I too don't believe this is German in origin.
