Swastika Good Luck Antique Postcard | - |
|
The swastika was a good luck symbol long before the Nazis adopted it for use as a symbol of fascism. Victorian postcards often include swastikas as messages of good luck. In this post, we take a look at some examples of postcard Good Luck Swastikas. All the postcards in this post date from about 1908- 1918.
The poetry on the above postcard introduces us to the "ancient cross" as a symbol of "fortune's reign" and sends the recipient blessings. This postcard has a golden swastika on top of a four-leaf clover, another long- established symbol of good luck that we often see on antique postcards.
This pretty lady is surrounded by a border of golden swastikas on a birthday postcard with fancy lettering and - again - green four-leaf clovers. The artwork is signed HBG for the artist H.B. Griggs.

Use of swastika by Krit Company.
Krit is derived from name Kenneth Crittenden, who previously worked with regal and ford. He designed and financed the initial car model in 1909 . Later from 1906 to 1916, Cars named 'krit' were manufactured extensively in Detroit. To make their car model a huge success, a good luck symbol swastika was used as the company emblem and logo.
Left image shows 'Krit' mini bus with a capacity of 15 passengers while right image shows the use of swastika in Kirt cars.
This American car company was the first car company to use swastika before the German and other Europeans car companies including Volkswagen. Krit also manufactured mini buses and mini trucks that could carry up to 15 peoples. Due to financial problems, Krit Company was sold to Walter S Russel of the Russel Wheel and Foundry Company http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russel_Wheel_and_Foundry_Company.
Many conventional 4 - cylinder cars were exported to Australia and Europe. Six cylinder models were introduced in 1913 , designs changes were made to streamline the body, many advertisements were made in leading newspapers but all this was unable to avoid the bankruptcy of this little car company in 1916 owing to the outbreak of the World War 1. Interestingly, good luck symbol 'Swastika' wasn't lucky for this company.
