Vintage Lind-Gal Enamel Whale Pin

This cute little goldtone pin is by Lind-Gal NYC, Inc., a company which began producing costume jewelry in 1952.  It measures only about an inch and a half wide and features translucent green and yellow enameling.  I cannot help but think of my beloved Hartford Whalers when I look at this piece (for those of you who did not know me as a teen, I was a huge fan of the Hartford Whalers, a National Hockey League team who disappointedly left Connecticut in the 1990s).  There is very little information available online about Lind-Gal NYC, so any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.ebay.com/ is coming soon.
