Vice President of the United States Seal Charm Necklace

This item is a gold-toned necklace featuring a double-link curb or charm style chain and a circular medallion pendant. The medallion prominently features the Seal of the Vice President of the United States, which includes an eagle with outspread wings, a shield on its breast, an olive branch, and arrows, surrounded by a ring of thirteen stars. The text 'VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES' is embossed around the outer edge of the coin-style pendant. The chain is constructed of interlocking double circular links, appearing to be a mid-century style typical of souvenir or commemorative jewelry from the 1960s or 1970s. The finish is a bright yellow gold-plating. In terms of condition, the piece shows significant signs of wear and age; there is noticeable pitting on the surface of the pendant, and the gold plating appears to be thinning or worn away in recessed areas of the chain links, revealing a darker base metal or patina. The spring-ring clasp is visible and appears functional. While there are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks in the image, the quality suggesting a high-end souvenir or a promotional gift piece often associated with political campaigns or executive branch visitor gifts.
