Hello Listers

I have a bit of a mystery....

While cataloging our doll collection I came across a small molded female
metal doll 1" tall and at it's widest point just under 1/2" wide. It has
defined hair, eyes, nose, mouth and buttocks and the undefined arms with no
hands are bent at a 90 angle. It reminds me of a frozen charlotte style
doll.

I read somewhere that small metal "toys" were baked in to cakes and those
that found the "toy" received a prize. I can't recall the source. I've never
seen one but was wondering if this could be something similar. It seems too
small to truly be a toy. Has anyone see something like this? I searched on
line and came up empty....

Please help!
