Given the style of decoration I would say from a book clasp or fitting 16th-18thC

You doubting me Geoff  Wink

I didn't say it was identical, but it is a similar object. And I agree it could be a book fitting also. We agreed on the date as well  Grin

Oh now don't start wavering, I was just coming around to your way of thinking. Grin I don't like the book clasp idea any more. I know I know lets split the difference and call it a casket fitting Wink
