Didn't know there were copper clad stoves. I assume they dropped the swastika motif by the mid 30s (and probably hoping that most tokens had been lost!). Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 6:46 pm @dave, yes I think you are correct about this. Here is a quote from the tokencatalog entry on this token: Quote: The swastica was an American good luck symbol made popular by a fad called the "Don't Worry Club". In the 1930's the symbol was being revived. But when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933 the revival faded.
