Awhile back i hit a garage sale and bought a box of misc. dishes. Just a bunch of generic mix and match plates and bowls for $5. I can always find a use for old plates and bowls of no value.
The odd part came when after I went them all and found a small saucer plate or maybe a butter plate. Felt like good china actually, very lightweight. When i turned it over.....a Swastika!
It must have been a war trophy by someone during WW2. The plate is from one of the Nazi youth education camps, Sonthofen was the 3rd step in the progression of ones education prior to becoming future leaders of the Nazi party. Why someone would take a plate is beyond me, but it would have been difficult to get back home without breaking such a fragile thing so that person made some effort.
It is definately a conversation piece for the table....or maybe it stays in the cabinet, not sure yet.
