Hammel Nazi swastika gas valve

By ozstriker, 26 November, 2011
Description

 I found this what appears to be a nazi gas valve, but i'm not sure because other websites claimed that it the swastika was commonly used by american manufacturers, so i'm not totally positive if it is indeed Nazi.  I'm thinking that the Hammel brand will give it away, but i can't seem to find anything on the matter.  also, the valve still turns with ease.

Re: Hammel Nazi swastika gas valve

Hi

 

what you have here is a pipe peice used during the 1930s , when the symbol was a peace sign.

 

Notice the swaztiak has no slant to it like the nazi germany items do you .

 

Value for this would be very hard to say , you would have to find someone interested in items from the 920s-30s era..
