ANTIQUE " THE SWASTIKA RAZOR HONE " IN IT'S ORIGINAL SLEEVE WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON USE ON THE REVERSE SIDE. THE HONE IS IN UNUSED CONDITION. IT IS ALSO STAMPED ON THE HONE " SWASTIKA RAZOR HONE ". SLEEV IS MISSING A COUPLE OF SMALL PIECES & IS BRITTLE BUT STILL MOSTLY THERE. THE SWASTIKA IS AN ANCIENT SYMBOL REPRESENTING DIVINITY, SPIRITUALITY AND GOOD FORTUNE WIDELY USED FOR OVER 5,000 YEARS IN HINDUISM, BUDDHISM PRIMARILY IN ASIA. HOWEVER, IT WAS APPROPRIATED BY THE GERMAN NAZI PARTY IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY, BECOMING A WORLDWIDE SYMBOL OF HATE AND RACISM. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER, AND WITH ITS ORIGINAL SLEEVE IN UNUSED CONDITION IS QUITE REMARKABLE. DONT KNOW THE AGE BUT I'M GUESSING EARLY 1900'S ?.
