An authentic German commemorative badge (tinnie) marking the NSBO (Nationalsozialistische Betriebszellenorganisation) rally and march held in Gotha on October 26–27, 1935. The badge is rectangular, struck from metal with a classic bronze-toned finish. The design incorporates prominent labor and political symbols: a hand gripping a hammer adorned with a swastika, and a gear wheel containing a swastika, set against a stylized city background. The lower portion features the clear inscription: "N.S.B.O. AUFMARSCH AM 26. u. 27. 10. 1935 GOTHA". The piece is in very good condition with sharp details and an attractive age patina. The reverse retains its original mounting hardware.
Historical context:
The NSBO was a labor organization within the NSDAP that played a significant role in securing working-class support before the establishment of the German Labour Front (DAF). Rallies in industrial cities like Gotha were key propaganda events. These badges were distributed to participants to commemorate the occasion and are now popular among collectors of period organizational insignia.
