    there used to be a shop in NY city that used a swastika as its copy logo. It operated thru the 20's and early 30's. I have seen a few shaving sets with brush mirror and case on ebay and one locally at an antique store. He thought it was a Nazi product till I pulled up a web page showing the same set online with a company history. here is one link to items that had the swastika on them. One appears to be the same type brush you saw. http://www.mallstuffs.com/Blogs/Blo...consumer products and pharmaceutical industry

    No, like I said I was curious to know who made it.

    No, I was more interested in who made it, than buying it. It ends today though if you want it

    No thanks, not my cup of tea, if you know what I mean.

    Yes again, glad I have it in my video collection. I wish I could find it cheap in a CD.

    I venture this was made in the early 20th century, and NOT the 19th century as stated above. Pre-Nazi era; no reference to Nazism.
    As other have stated, the gammadion cross has different meaning and implies something entirely different ('luck') than the use by the Nazi party (which has the icon rotated 45° versus how it it shown on the brush).
    In today's society, since the image has taken on notoriety, there is rekindled interest in what it represents. This brush, however, predates the era from which this notoriety came.

    Well it sold for $27 bucks. Heres hoping that it went to a true collector and not someone who is going to glorify the evil that it turned into, 45 degrees angled or not.
