King Fish Hat Pin

[MJL]

Some years ago I recall seeing John Goodman with a King Fish hat pin in his fedora. This was a silver fish pin. The fish had a crown over its head. He was wearing this as Mack Blues. I have been looking for one of these pins for years. Anyone else remember it? I reckon it harks back to Huey P Long, THE King Fish of LA! I suppose it could also be a reference to The Kingfish on Amos and Andy.I cannot even find a photo of one. Has anyone ever seen one?

Well, I was thinking I was crazy. Maybe I hadn't seen the pin. Well, I found the link below online. Aparently it does exist. Now to hunt one down!

Thanks! It would be interesting if I could squeeze a few out here and there! I emailed the artist. Let's see what he says!

I slept on it and went crazy with google early this morning. I found the link below. The price seems higher than I have to spend but at least I am able to let my mind rest on this one. If I can scrape together the cash one day I may pick one up!
