The shit I learned as a kid...<br /><br />That being said, I don't think this is the case with the Fang's Boys From Brazil group shot.

BTW did you know the Cucca label out of Wisconsin was originally Swastika Records?

There was a taxicab fleet in NYC in the '20s that used it as its trademark, and an edition of Rudyard Kipling's collected works with a swastika on each spine. You used to see it on a lot of rugs, and somewhere I've got a postcard of the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD, with a big fat swastika on one of its silos. This photo looks like it's from the '20s, so most likely these guys aren't little bundists.The All-Seeing Eye, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13830337758736267524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-33847827564920191172010-04-14T10:11:03.876-04:002010-04-14T10:11:03.876-04:00Ahhh, the good old days.
