And the symbol was a good one ...I love the heaters! And the symbol was a good one put to bad use. The Christian cross has been put to bad use at times, too, and my own lovely star in a circle which is not at all evil as some folks think.<br /><br />The "swastika" was a Native American symbol, too, if I remember right. Some folks are now reclaiming this and trying hard to erase the stigma of the misuse the symbol suffered through.<br /><br />It sounds like you had a good trip. We sold a house in Spencer with several oldtime heaters in it. The kids who are buying the place are using those heaters as back up heat sources.Granny Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796564953236247413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-26925488227676128252011-02-21T10:54:59.716-05:002011-02-21T10:54:59.716-05:00Granny Sue,

I look forward to some good frittering time in the coming year.<br /><br />It needs some cleaning up, Liz, and a thorough checking out to be sure everything is working properly. But I think it will be fine. I just loved its look, so ornate! I'll post more photos when it's looking good again.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-63377971944988182922011-02-21T07:46:15.343-05:002011-02-21T07:46:15.343-05:00I love the heater, Susie!

As I was trying to find out about these stoves, I did learn that the symbols have been in use over 4000 years, and across cultures. It's an ancient symbol, not something that belonged to the Nazis. I like its real meaning, luck and health in most cultures. Even aviators wore the symbol in the early days of flight for good luck. How sad that one regime of evil should ruin something that only meant good for such a long time.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-44331193710924362592011-02-20T17:53:42.585-05:002011-02-20T17:53:42.585-05:00I love the heaters and I used to live in an old ho...I love the heaters and I used to live in an old house in Alabama (long time ago) that had one of these heaters in it. They really do provide some awesome heat. The Nazi symbol has been around for so long and it is a shame that it is just associated with WWII. I often find it in Old Pawn Native American bracelets and they call it a whirling log symbol. Pointing out the four symbols of the earth.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123691580195879542noreply@blogger.com
