The Medal of Labor was an adjunct of the Orderof Labor which was established in 1945. It was awarded to citizens, collectives, public institutions, and social organizations for meeting and exceeding plans and exceeding labor quotas for an uninterrupted period of six months; for demonstrating improved conservation of resources in production; for successful modifying supplied equipment; for the capacity for leadership in various labor sectors; and for good work in the arts, education, and culture. The earliest ones were made in Yugoslavia and can be told by the very high quality of the manufacture. Later on, quality deteriorated and the last ones made in the 1970's and 1980's are rather chintzy in appearance. This one is an early one in its fitted wood case.
