A different time.


I went to the Japanese version of an antique store for the first time today. There were a lot of interesting trinkets and entertainment memorabilia, but a few objects stood out. Two cases held several pieces of Nazi-related memorabilia. Some were potentially made after the war, like this doll, but other pieces appeared to be original such as several medals featuring the swastika. I would imagine that during the America occupation after WWII, the allies wouldn't have been very supportive of the possession or production of such items so they are likely very rare. That could explain why this doll was going for around $580.
