This little silver man measures about 1.75" in length, and has the letters RDC stamped on it with no further markings. It has a wire loop on the back to hang from something (maybe a lapel?).

Has anyone seen anything similar to this before?

Sometimes these are symbols of Fraternal Lodges. Which were very widespread in Victorian times. It could be worn on a lapel, or a watch chain, or a hat. Nice little item.

He kind of makes me think of the character that was used on some Robertson's food products in Britain.

To me it kind of resembles a Major Domo!
Or a household valet, back in the day.
