swastika bulb ...any info on these

[3002steve]

got this from a member on here , ive found a thread with broken pictures from 2008 that doesnt really say much about them

wondered if we have any new members that can tell me anything about it at all

I havent seen them documented or in period photos.... so possibly 3rd reich but my guess would be another item that is used in Asia etc as a lucky charm / symbol!?

They were certainly used. I have seen period newsreel footage of them.

But like Dan says just be wary of possible Asian made versions.

Cheers, Ade.

Some wear I have seen a photo of these in use in front of a podium at a ceremony there were two mounted in light stands I will see if I can find the photo.
