RARE BLUE EAGLE BANK

Preferred Bank Service Company. untitled [Blue eagle atop earth, grasps cogwheel in one claw and lightning bolts in the other]. Distributed by Preferred Bank Service Company, 80 Spring St., New York. National Recovery Administration ?. New York. 1933. Aluminum bank paperweight, the eagle blue, the globe gold, on red base. Being a representation of the emblem of an early Franklin D. Roosevelt depression recovery effort. The NRA was the most controversial of his New Deal agencies. Headed by General Hugh S. Johnson, an admirer of Adolf Hitler's new Germany. Johnson would strike poses that resembled Hitler when photographed. He was very dictatorial in administering its new "Codes of Fair Competition". Nazi style parades, banners, emblems and the Blue Eagle with motto "We do our part" were used to create mass support for the National Recovery Administration.  The courts were used often to compel small businesses to charge the same prices. Big business used the codes to their own advantage in labor negotiations. Growing dissatisfaction with General Johnson and interferance with interstate commece, caused the Supreme Court to strike down the NRA on May 27, 1935. Though it lasted only two years, many of its provisions were included in the Wagner Act that followed. The NRA was the shortest lived of the basic recovery efforts of the FDR Administration.   Some paint losses but very scarce. I.D.#10370.  **New Addition** January 2009
