Vintage AJC Noah's Ark Brooch Gold Tone Biblical Pin Signed American Jewelry Co

This detailed vintage Noah’s Ark brooch is signed © AJC, generally identified as the American Jewelry Chain Company.  The sculptural figural design depicts Noah’s Ark filled with pairs of animals, including giraffes and other creatures gathered aboard and alongside the boat. Raised details, openwork sections, textured planks, and an antiqued gold-tone finish give the brooch plenty of character and dimension.  This whimsical biblical design is a wonderful example of late-20th-century figural costume jewelry and would appeal to collectors of AJC jewelry, animal brooches, religious jewelry, and vintage novelty pins.  Approximate measurements:  - 3 inches wide  - 1.5 inches tall  Good vintage condition with light surface wear, small marks, and age-related variation to the antiqued gold-tone finish. Darkened recessed areas appear largely intentional and enhance the detailed design. Pin stem and clasp are present and appear intact. No missing animals or broken sections. Please examine all photographs closely, as they are an important part of the condition description.
