My guess is trolling given the above and his join/last seen times

Something tells me this guy isn't really working for the Fort Sam museum... I await mods getting to the bottom of that.

I'm gonna guess the thread just popped up in his search and he didn't read any of it. Only posted a poorly veiled WTB ad

Lol at Nazi playing cards produced in London

Maybe created by the BUF?

Hi guys, recent join - first time poster. It still surprises me how many people don't bother to find out where these chips come from and/or get deeply offended by something that has nothing to do with Nazis. As mentioned before, these are clay (bakelite / paranoid) and were first produced in the 1900's - 30's by the United States Playing Card Company in Cincinnati, Ohio. They have no association with Nazis or the Nazi Party.

As also mentioned, these poker chips were appropriating the Native American good luck symbol (the four winds). If you google it, the symbol dates back 7,000 to 12,000 years. Various cultures / countries have used it, such as ancient Greece, China, India, Egypt, and among Native American tribes (such as the Navajo and Hopi).

For thousands of years, it has been (and remains) a highly revered, sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. In these faiths, it represents the sun, the footprints of the Buddha, and good luck. It continues to be a peaceful cultural symbol in countries like Sri Lanka, Mongolia, India, Japan, China and Nepal.

Anyone seen one of these Coca-Cola good luck keychains before? From what I've read, it was produced in 1925. Just my subtle way of saying hello.

I'm sure sarcasm has never come up, either. I guess that qualifies as the first bump that @WedgeRock was referring to
