Looks like a trophy missing the silver plate glued on the front showing the winners name. Not sure how old though. Some of the metal working...
Generally these stoppers develop a wear pattern over the years both on the stopper and inside the neck. These can usually be matched together....

Rubbing didn't work too well but under less lighting and with the light at a different angle I could work out the marks a little better and got...
Got this plaster clock statue today with a signature on it that is a little hard to decipher. She's 61.5cm(24.2”) high and only 5.1Kg as she's...
