Abzeichen 1. Mai 1937 by B.H. Mayer of Pforzheim. Introduced in 1933, the NSDAP declared May 1st the “Day of National Work” as an official state holiday to celebrate laborers and the working classes. It is constructed out of a die struck zinc base that has been blackened. The round shaped obverse depicts; a child holding an oak leaf cluster in his left hand and he is waving with his right, he is above a national eagle (with outstretched wings clutching a wreathed swastika in its talons) and is to the center of “1 Mai” (left) and “1937” (right). The semi-hollow reverse has a recessed vertically crimped, well working, steel pin assembly. It is also maker marked “B.H. Mayer Pforzheim”. It measures approximately 1 3/8 inches in diameter. Nice!
