Cast iron decorative plate celebrating industrial labor at the cast production and foundry plant construction, VEB Kombinat GISAG, with headquarters in Leipzig, GDR. The center features a depiction of an individual laborer working what appears to be a metal casting machine and the GISAG logo ("G"). The outer rim of the plate lists towns in a variety of districts throughout East Germany and acronyms (listed below), perhaps reflecting a relationship with certain industrial enterprises and foundry plants.

                    [Note] => Of the towns (and acronyms) listed, a few were found to have direct relationships with VEB GISAG (notably Strammbetrieb, and Silbitz and Copitz both have foundry plants), but this was not uniform. Little information was found on why these specific townsites are listed. I would assume there was an economic relationship.
