Description
Description
In silvered bronze with red and black enamels, maker marked "THOMAS FATTORINI BOLTON" on the reverse, illustrating a swastika surrounded by the inscription "NATIONAL WAR SAVINGS COMMITTEE / FOR SERVICE", measuring 29 mm in diameter, horizontal pinback, intact enamels, scattered silvering wear, near extremely fine.
Footnote: The National Savings Movement was a British mass savings movement that operated between 1916 and 1978 and was used to finance the deficit of government spending over tax revenues. The movement was instrumental during the Second World War in raising funds to support the war effort. In peacetime the movement provided an easy and safe way for ordinary people to save small sums of money. The movement grew to around seven million members before ceasing during the 1970s, as more modern methods of saving took over. Savings products promoted by the movement typically offered a low level of return but the safety of a government guarantee. The movement was created in March 1916 as the National Savings Committee and this was supplemented by volunteer local committees and paid civil servants. A number of different organizations were loosely affiliated to make up the movement, including the Trustees Savings Banks and National Savings (previously the Post Office Savings Bank). By 1946, the movement employed 1,190 civil servants at an annual cost of £1.5 million, excluding unpaid volunteers. The amount raised by the movement at that time was £105,000 per week compared with £5 million in 1943. According to a parliamentary answer, in 1950 there were about 185,000 local National Savings groups with a membership of about 7,000,000. The amount of small savings invested was over £6,100 million. The Trustee Savings Banks funds had reached £1,000 million. On March 30, 1966, a ceremony was held at the London Guildhall to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the movement, which was attended by Queen Elizabeth II. On July 30, 1976, the government announced that all 580 civil servants who supported the otherwise voluntary movement would be withdrawn over two years as part of public spending cuts. Without this administrative support the movement was unable to function, and its National Committee met for the last time on February 16, 1978. Attempts to restructure the movement into a more general money management service had failed because of a lack of financial support from the government and the banking industry. The movement was particularly active during wartime, when government spending was heightened. During the Second World War, a War Savings Campaign was set up by the War Office to support the war effort. Local savings weeks were held which were promoted with posters with titles such as "Lend to Defend the Right to be Free", "Save your way to Victory" and "War Savings are Warships". One of the early symbols of the movement was the swastika, but this was replaced with an image of St. George slaying the dragon before the start of the Second World War, after the swastika was adopted by Nazi Germany.
