Hi guys I've had this for several years, found it in a flat i rented. Looking for some help on what it is, where it's from (I know not all swastik are bad) and maybe if it has any value, the Internet has no answers! Thanks for helping

Hi Crizzle.....I googled Swastik and found it's a brand name juicer.

 

Welcome!
You can put up to 10 photos per post.

You can also go back to EDIT and dump the dupes.

 

Looks more about the size of a garlic press, unless you do one grape at a time.

 

thanks guys, yeah it looks/feels pretty old, it is small yes, garlic did cross my mind too! also sorry for the pics, I'm not the best at these things

 

Swastik Industries in Gujarat, India. Manufacturing kitchen products since 2002. So it seems your press isn't that old. Unless of course there is another Swastik Industries

 

One grape at a time...verrrry small aperitif.

 

Shocking they'd use that....

 

Wasn't the swastika emblem a sign of goodluck previous before the Germans used it ? Maybe in India they never got the word

Found this on the internet:

THE ORIGINAL MEANING
The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix.

Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.

Even in the early twentieth century, the swastika was still a symbol with positive connotations. For instance, the swastika was a common decoration that often adorned cigarette cases, postcards, coins, and buildings.


During World War I, the swastika could even be found on the shoulder patches of the American 45th Division and on the Finnish air force until after World War II.

 

Depends upon which direction it was as well.
It think the Anasazi may have been first to use it.

 

It's a garlic press...
or at least it looks like one.

 

I agree, BUT in India with all their nuclear bomb testing maybe their orange trees produce very small fruits???
