Antique Lighter

By 828_littrell, 21 March, 2008
Description

THIS LIGHTER HAS TWO DATES ON IT ONE ON BOTH SIDES WITH A SYMBOL. I WENT TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE AT AN ANTIQUE STORE WHO KNEW MORE THAN ME, HE SAID THAT THE TWO SYMBOLS ON IT RESEMBLE COINS FROM BACK IN THAT TIME.. THE TIMES WERE RIGHT AT THE WORLD WAR 2 AND THE HOLACAUST WE BELIEVE IT WAS A HILTER LIGHTER. IT HAS A NAZI SYMBOL ON IT. I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS PIECE BECAUSE OF WHERE AND WHEN IT CAME FROM BUT PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN ANTIQUE FROM THE PAST MEANING HISTORY DOESNT MEAN PRESENT. THIS ITEM DOESNT MEAN WE ARE RACEIST!!! THIS ITEM IS OUR PAST AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LEARN ABOUT IT AND SOMEONE OUT THERE KNOWS ALOT ABOUT THIS PIECE OR COLLECTS HISTORY.. SO PLEASE DONT LOOK AT THIS AS A MEAN INSULT WE ARE JUST LEARNING ABOUT THIS.. THANK YOU
