    Description

    Very rare NYA National Youth Administration "POCKET KIT" tin in great shape.  The NYA was only in operation from 1935 to 1943, see the brief history from Wikipedia below.
    The
    National Youth Administration
    (
    NYA
    ) was a
    New Deal
    agency sponsored by the
    Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt
    in the U.S. that focused on providing work and education for Americans between the ages of 16 and 25.
    It operated from June 26, 1935 to 1939 as part of the
    Works Progress Administration
    (WPA)
    and included a Division of Negro Affairs headed by
    Mary McLeod Bethune
    who worked at the agency from 1936 to 1943.  Following the passage of the
    Reorganization Act of 1939
    , the NYA was transferred from the WPA to the
    Federal Security Agency
    .
    In 1942, the NYA was transferred to the
    War Manpower Commission
    (WMC).
    The NYA was discontinued in 1943.
    A great WWII era  collectible.  Thanks for looking and please check out my other items.
