Silver, but what??

[doublet2a]

I can't find any marking on it, but I,m pretty sure it's silver
The 1st pick looks like a face of a bird on it
Right & left sides
Next pic , the back Looks like the initials "L & W"
But in that old fancy writing, were you not sure witch letter is supposed to come 1st, The "L" or the "W"??
Last pic is on edge of course
The fat ended :P
Found in an old home site, circa 1890's
Actually, I found it 3 or so years ago, then lost it
Had that sucker shinin' then,
Maybe I'llshine it up, and take another pic
Thanks for looking

P.S. The 2 oblong shapes on either side of the 1st pic, are the eyes, if that help to see the birds face

Is it napkin ring??

Walking cane trim or band.

It seems small for a napkin holder, and I had thought of the cane trim idea but
As small as it is, it would have gome on the end probably, but the the face would be up-side down?? Maybe

That was my first thought.

looks kind of like a hand crafted spoon ring or something. i sure doesnt look like it would be very comfortable though.

It might be a Victorian Ladies scarf ring

Very interesting ! Maybe it went on the neck of a perfume bottle? Or some other type of cologne dispencer ?

I agree.

Maybe the band from a fancy pen?
