This history of symbols is very interesting. The Swastika has been around for thousands of years before Hitler's PR people stole the symbol. Considering what it used to stand for, its done a total 180.
Kinda puts the decline/death of American industry into perspective. We used to make everything here, now we import it from the other side of the world.
Looks like something an employee might have done on his own on the sly with a grinder. Maybe the shop maintenance person had the roller out for repair and just cut an impromptu message on there for everybody. I wrote some messages on the back side of Poland Spring labels when I worked at the plant. Nice positive messages though. No swastikas.
@ThePooFlingerShow If it's from India that makes sense because the swastika is actually and ancient symbol. I attended a wedding for an Indian couple some years ago and they had swastika imagery decorating their reception hall. I thought...cool! - LOL
That's just odd. I have picked up cold rolled for many a project & I have never seen anything like that before. Heck, finish the hole age the cut's so they don't look (new) & call it a flag weight ;-)
Looks crude, probably some guy in whatever factory it came from got bored and decided to get artistic with the rolling mill. Suua is a Finnish surname, the swastika was/is a national symbol in Finland going back before nazism. The steel could be from Finland.
@Cytacon It actually says "suja" and the marking was several characters longer before he cut it and noticed it. The other piece was used on some project. Is there a similar name in Finland that starts like that?
It's hakenkreuz. Not swastika. Swastika = Sanskrit; Hakenkreuz = German;

I did a little more research and I now think the steel came from India. Google ''sujana steel''.
