    Posted: 11 Nov 2010 at 11:07pm
While looking at old 1920's era photos of our farm we found some that showed a sign hanging on a porch.  It has "NR" in large letters in the center (its in the shape of a circle), with what looks to be olive branches above the letters.  Below the large letters it also has about four or five words, but we can't make them out.  Does anybody have any idea what this could be?
Thanks
Adam

I did find this.   Maybe, maybe not?
 
Nathan R. Davis of Freetown Mass was granted 5 patents on gun related inventions between 1868 and 1886. He started the N.R. Davis & Co. gun making firm in Assonet, Mass in 1853, This merged with Warner Arms CO about 1917, went inactive 1920-22, then was revived about 1930 as part of the Crescent-Davis Arms corp., which in turn was absorbed by Stevens about 1932.

It wasn't for the National Recovery Act, was it? Some of those were round.

May be part of the farm movement of the 20's and 30's as the Farm Bureau was first formed or one of the other movements of the Progressive movement in the nation and on the farm.
