Found these the other day- thought the "luck" ring was pretty interesting- what do you guys think? Ever seen the luck ring?

Early to mid 30s I believe- based on the company's timeline- was a mail-order company out of Chicago expanded to Detroit in the 1930s

Not this one anyway- WW2 effectively killed the company, shut down with last catalog as USA entered the war- 1941- then no men, no materials- shut completely through 1946.

I'd imagine most companies ditched the swastika for obvious reasons - like the USA 45th infantry division did, changing their DUI from a swastika to a thunderbird in the 1930s. I'm pretty sure the symbol continues to be used in South Asia however as a religious and cultural symbol. If it was still produced in the states however, it certainly wasn't continued.
