    Maybe a TINY bit of copper polish on your finger tip to see what that tiny circle says???? AND even before you do that, I'm wondering if there's a face showing there!?????? WHO signs their work with a FACE???????????

    Then I'd skip the polish!!! OR see if anyone else might suggest a TINY bit of baking soda.....wet.....just a TINY bit of abrasion....BUT wait for others to chime in!!!!

    Initially I had skimmed what you'd said about the lion and didn't quite realize that the lion was that small!!!!!!

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Searching for Kinder Surprise, I saw that these were small figures hidden in plastic eggs that came with Ferrero's candies?
