More photos! At first I thought It was part of a doll but the size and toe ring are throwing me off!

I don't know who's foot it was, but I can tell you 'toe rings' became popular in the USA in the early 1970's when an designer from India introduced them to the USA. Toe rings were worn in India on the left foot to signify a Hindi marriage. Since 'Chucky's ring is on the right foot, I'm assuming it is a USA foot, and was made sometimes after 1973ish.

Interesting find :)

Thank you so much! That fits with most of my yard finds! A lot of clad from the 50s - 70s in my front yard!
And thanks for the welcome! I have been lurking for a couple weeks and I must say your posts are always so informative! I've learned a ton from them so thank you!

Cool finds, congratulations. The foot is very unique and what a great way to find it. Your metal mold is from a 1960's Mattel "Thingmaker" set. I had several of them as a kid. Liquid silicone, hot plate, burnt fingers, great fun! Sub 8-)

Hey, I would love to have my old one, and would probably buy one today, but I'd rather have a Thingabot 3-d printer thingy. LOL!

I loved my thingmaker! I made bugs, flowers, other things, I don't remember, it was LONG time ago, I was 6! LOL! I remember bugging the tar, outta my mom for new liquid stuff, every time we went to JC Penny's, LOL!
"BUT MOM! I HAVE TO MAKE THINGS"! LOL!

That foot is too weird! LOL!

If you're finding '50's coins, they're not clad! Look again! They'll be silver and wheats!
