Default Help Identifying: Usen't Youse T'Live In Brooklyn - 1988 Dodgers Pin?

Hi all,

I obtained this pin not too long ago and I'm having trouble identifying it. Can't find it on ebay or Worthpoint or Google. It is sealed in the bag with no writing on the back of the pin and only "Made in Taiwan, Republic of China" on the back of the bag. The pin has a variation of the "Usen't Youse T'Live in Brooklyn?" Willard Mullin cartoon that appears on the cover of the 1960 Spink Baseball Guide and Record Book (click here for original image).

The bottom of the pin reads 1958-1988 leading me to (obviously) believe it was issued for the 30th anniversary of the move to L.A....but I just can't find info about its release. Was it an official release or a fan creation? The odd thing is, it's not an exact duplicate image of the above linked cartoon - see the bum is not leaning over, the mirror is not tilted, there's no "World Champs" button on the reflection, etc.).

So - where did this pin (and its image) come from?!

Wasn't/Isn't there a Brooklyn Dodgers historical society or museum in Brooklyn? They might know and might even be the producer of the pin.

I know the Philadelphia A's Historical Society did a couple "anniversary of the move" things...maybe this is a similar deal.
