Looks like a version of "Lady Liberty". I think she was used as a symbol of Victory, and was a popular Trophy Figural Image, especially in the 1920s - 30s.
Here are a couple from REA, a little while back... http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/.../2005/734.html Hope this is helpful, and best of luck

Sterling is almost always marked, usually on the bottom. The lesser grades are also usually marked, .860 was popular. Of course the cheapest was silver plate usually over copper or brass.
Quick test, tap it. If it pings and sort of rings like a bell that's a good sign, if it's more of a clunk it's plate for sure. Some of those metal ones look pretty cool, if they're inexpensive I'd be interested. Heck, if they're cheap enough I'd save you the work of piecing them together and cleaning them. Even the crummy ones. My sisters rabbit club is usually looking for trophies for their show and the toppers are cheap. Steve B

You could try donating them to youth leagues. Make a few calls and see if anyone wants them. I wish I had done this with my room load of softball trophies back in the early '90s, but I tossed them out.
