Hello,
We found this in our walls while renovating the living room of our old house (built in 1887). We have wondered what it is for a while now and hoping this is the place to get help identifying it.
It has swastika symbols on it. It is pretty worn out but you can see the symbols throughout it. It looks like it was possibly cast/molded. It weighs 15.7 grams and is about the size of a ping pong ball. It is hard material.
It was found with other items dated from 1945 to 1946. The other items we found were pay stubs, liquor bottles, a spoon, medicine bottles and a couple other items that were in too poor shape to fully identify.
Thank you!
Maybe some sort of good luck charm. The swastika has been a sign of good luck for thousands of yrs. (possible the oldest known symbol). The Nazi's tainted it & proved that it doesn't work real well for good luck.
