Looks like a broken handle to a pair of scissors.

Well done!

No later than c. 1750's IMHO. More likely to be late 1600's.

Don't you think it's a little to ornate for a scissor handle. I was thinking more on the lines of a handle off a teapot.

How about a part of the handle or the lid from a beer stein ?

Or it may be the handle from a candle snuffer... we'll probably never know.

Not at all, stick in 'ornate silver scissor handle' into google images.
