Circa 1930\'s Straw hat label

Hello,

I have this rather interesting straw hat which is labeled.

I was wondering if this is the correct NRA eagle that is mentioned in the
information/research below:

The National Recovery Administration, part of President Roosevelt's New Deal to get American out of the Great Depression by regulating how business was handled. The NRA started off with a bang in 1933, but within a couple of years it was evident that it wasn't the right solution to the problem, and the NRA fizzled to a quiet death in 1935. "...source: WWW

Certainly the hat is early, and the label is original to the piece.

(label)

I do appreciate any assistance,
Dorothy

I just don't know. Here are National Recovery labels from our label resource.

Can you make out the writing around the symbol? I can't see the eagle very clearly (but that may just be me!! )

Oh, OK - 'United Hatters Cap and Millinery Workers' ?

(Forgive me for not knowing about them - i may have said before I don't do hats that much... http://dlib.nyu.edu:8083/tamwagead/...hatters.xml&style=/saxon01t2002.xsl&part=body )

I think thar's just a union label - no relation to the NRA. I've always seen the NRA logo exactly as shown in the label resource, and it has always been on it's own, not as part of another label.

"Interesting how attempting to do research is much more interesting than housework!"

That is very true. And even better when it's for someone else (then it's not like work, lol!)
