III REICH HISTORY 1933-1945:
Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG (abbreviated GBAG, Gebag or Gelsenberg)
was a German mining company based in Gelsenkirchen and Essen.
Due to the intensive gas industry between the coking plants and blast furnaces
supplying blast furnace gas, GBAG also held a 26 percent stake in Ruhrgas AG,
which was founded in 1926.
In 1940, a subsidiary Gelsenberg Benzin issued shares with the following purpose
and ownership: "Production of coal-based fuels." Founded on December 18, 1936;
registered on December 24, 1936; all shares held by the founders:
Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG, Dusseldorf; Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG, Essen;

Relatively Rare, this one is in great shape. Nice piece! The pin featured here belonged to the NSBO, which went out of existence in 1934. It later became the GDAO, one of the labor unions of the Third Reich. The design of the pin consists of a gear with a hammer in front of it. At the base there are a couple of laurels and corn nuts. A swastika is placed midpoint of the handle of the hammer. A rectangular sign rests in the lower section and has the letters GDAO in block format. Made by the prestigious Deschler firm, and the quality shows.
