Button in the form of a pyramid of twisted ropes, framed by a flat ring with the inscription: "Dawn Rope and Wire Factory. A. DIECHSEL Sp. Akc. Sosnowiec." On the lower ring forming the base, the inscription is visible: "ROPE FOR ZAKOPANE - KASPROWY WIERCH RAILROAD". The inscriptions on the bottom refer to the technical specifications of the rope.
The factory was established in Zabrze in 1881 (it originally produced hemp and steel ropes). After the founder's death, the company - as a joint stock company - was run by his son Erwin in Sosnowiec. In 1935-1936 the factory received an order for a set of supporting ropes for the cable car to Kasprowy Wierch, which was under construction.
