Welcome wkrp,

Nice fob! Now, all you need to find is the Christmas Coke to go with it.

"In 1925, Coca-Cola made a lucky watch fob in the shape of a swastika with right-facing arms and the slogan, "Drink Coca Cola five cents in bottles"." Western use of the swastika in the early 20th century

Yea the swastika was the symbol of "Peace" until Hitler used it for evil... It predates Hitler by a long shot...
