Great stuff. The imagery on the first one is fantastic, really captures the socialist ideal of everyone working together to mutual benefit 🤓

In general, I think the labor medals are under-rated.  I've always fancied the civilian/non-military awards, as long as they don't go "over-the-top", such as monarchist jubilee medals and "anniversary of ..." (except, of course, the various and sundry anniversary medals for the Great Patriotic War). 

 

Insofar as collecting, my experience has been that labor medals are definitely a very narrow market segment.  Consequently, one should be able to get some great deals.  The Soviet/Communist/Socialist/Warsaw Pact material is neat stuff.  Those two Bulgarian medals "gjw" posted are way cool.  It's also a creative way to familiarize yourself with Cyrillic.
