Maybe a from a ladies vanity set, handle adornment for mirror,brush or from a parasol or cane handle there are a lot of possibilities.
Looks like it was part of a Victorian babies rattle/teething thingy.
Top of a cane perhaps? It looks to have a place where a monogram would go, making me think it's a fashion accessory of some sort. But, what is the size it (I don't recognize the piece of the coin offhand, for comparison). I agree with Crusader about it looking Victorian.
Ok... joining in on this now if ya don't mind.
Good ole silver slaw...
My guess...
Wax Seal Stamp Handle.
Yes, yes...that sounds good. Wax seal stamp handle is the coolest possibility yet, I'm going with that lol
Sorry I forgot to mention size. Here's the full shot, the coin is a 1910 Canadian dime, found a few feet from the silver item.
