OK. I'm convinced. 19th century opium damper scrapping tool. 
Wow...

Re: 1850's era Silver Opium spoon ?
I had no idea the spoon was this small until you posted the pic of the dime with it. After seeing that, and the loop at the end, I agree 100% it is an opium spoon. . . . And we thought all those Victorian "ladies" were wearing chatelaines were for looks! 
Nice find, Breezie
Every time I watch Gone With The Wind, I think we're gonna win this time!

Yes I just wonder if it was not only a fashion statement but served some function for those ladies . . Next time I post a picture I will remember to set a coin next to the item found as it will be easier to determine size. Thanks for responding Breezie. 
H.H. to you all R.H.
