    That's better. Without any words on the token you are going to have a tough job, Nevertheless, I'll bet someone here will be of help.

    Freakish...

    And what's that critter crawling up her shoulder?

    All I can guess is that the date 1937 might mean something. :*

    So Amelia Earhart disappeared on July 2 1937. No other noteworthy woman in the news that year. I'm just saying.

    Not a very good likeness but it's a good guess.

    That might explain the short hair but not the frilly dress/top.

    Amelia Earhart did sometimes have a pixie-ish look (see Google Images), but I sure wouldn't bet my life on that ID.
