I'd say mid to late 1600's. But I'm no expert.

looks to be a very old 2 piece type design with the wide flared ears --think of 2 "claw" type hooks and ears sort design (you got the "ears" half ) -- say late 1600 / early / mid 1700 (1680 thru 1750) would be my best wag..

tell it its cutie and ask it out for a cup of coffee.. or a dinner.. and a movie...

 

[CRUSADER]

Yes, its 17th C, as other have said. I've only got about 3 complete ones.

These are 1620-1680, so squarely 17th C. Never 2 piece but sometimes tinned.

I did wag 1680 ...as my early time frame guess .. wrong on it being two part.... so I only et half a credit point.. here in America these things are seldom seen unlike your neck of the woods where their more common..
