Re: Help needed - NRA (not Nat'l Rifle Assoc.)



I beleave that is the National Recovery Administration.  A New Deal agency.

Good morning!

In going through a large collection of equipment sales literature from the
1910's through 1950's, I keep noticing a tiny logo printed next to the
manufacturer's name on many pieces. The logo depicts a silhuoette of an
eagle clutching a gear in one talon and lightning bolts in the other. The
text with the silhouette reads, "NRA member/doing our part."

Can anyone shed any light on what the logo represents and the range of years
that it was used?

As always, thanks for any help given.

Best wishes,
