Vintage 1920s Flapper Girl “After Taxes” Movable Figural Brooch

This charming vintage brooch is a true conversation piece — signed AJC (American Jewelry Chain Company), known for fun and collectible figural pins from the mid‑20th century with a playful twist. 

🌀 A Playful Nod to Roaring Twenties Glamour

Standing at approximately 3″ tall, this figural brooch features a stylish woman in a luxurious fur coat — glamorous on the outside, funny on the inside. When you open her coat, she’s revealed wearing a barrel marked “After Taxes,” a cheeky commentary on life after the tax collector comes calling.
