Is it on a thigh that is showing because I do not see anything?
-
i put a new picture on so you can see what i am talkin about

Went ahead and attempted a couple of enhancements, so that everyone can see the lettering better.

This one appears to be a resin-cast item , ALG ..... is this so ?

Wondering the same things myself regjoe!
-
it might, its not porcelin, its real heavy, and the last 3 letters i can read ers almost like brothers, that is what i was thinking and the first word is 3 or 4 letters

if it is, not really worth anything?

Well , ALG , I noticed 'bubbles' in the bottom of the base of your item , which is one indicator of a cast resin item .
As far as any 'antique' value , I'd say your item is not old enough to fit this catagory .
Folks collect all sorts of nic-nack things , resin-cast items among them .
There is a little bit of a collector base for 'vintage' resin-cast items .
Resin-cast items imitate more expensive sculpture-type items made from metals , stone & ivory/bone & are sometimes purchased by folks who can't afford the real deal (also for home decoration purposes) .
I couldn't give you an idea about the value of such new-ish items , as I know not enough about them .
