The swastika originated as a good luck or sun symbol used by Hindu, American Indian and other cultures thousands of years before it was corrupted by the Nazis.

The Excelsior Shoe Company was a supplier of official shoes to the Boy Scouts of America and issued a token with each pair.[linked] The copper token has a Boy Scout on a horse on the front and a large swastika with other luck symbols. A sterling silver version was given to the Scoutmaster when all his Scouts were shod with Excelsior Shoes.

The Boy Scout Association in the UK issued a Thanks Badge in 1911 that incorporated the swastika. Uses of the swastika in Scouting ceased with the rise of the Nazi Party and the advent of Word War II.

A price for the shoe token is difficult to determine without knowing the condition. The copper versions are not particularly rare and start at $10 to $20 on eBay.
