AJC Goldtone Musical Instruments Brooch

AJC Goldtone Hands Playing Musical Instruments Brooch

Three hands with fingers joyously playing a saxophone, a horn or trumpet, and what appears to be a bass or a violin. Music notes and a treble clef charm dance underneath, giving fantastic movement to this picture of jazz in oxidized finish goldtone metal.

This item is marked AJC and we believe it comes from the American Jewelry Chain Company of Rhode Island, which was founded in 1927. Later production featured mostly figural jewelry with people and animals engaged in a variety of activities. Also fairly well known for figural holiday brooches, mostly for Christmas. Our information is that they were in business and fairly prolific up until the late 1990s.

This is a large brooch, measuring approximately 3 1/4" x 2 3/4". Very good preowned vintage condition.

Please note: Our photos are taken with a high definition close-up lens. The pictures you see are the equivalent of looking at the piece through a strong magnifying glass and may show flaws that are not apparent to the naked eye. We do not deep clean vintage pieces and some items may have age appropriate patina or tarnish, especially in the deep recesses. Please examine all photographs as they are your best indicator as to appearance and condition. Any black or white spots seen in the photographs but not listed in the description are reflections, either of our photographic lights or our black camera lens, or are shadows created by the deep texturing of the item itself.
