Because of the slot, my guess is that it is used to slice off the top of a soft-boiled egg.

I got bored and tried to google it. Came up with nothing. The company that made it was around in the late 1800s in Birmingham England.

Well, since my OP, I found this on eBay. Seems to confirm my suspicions, but no pictures unfortunately. I forgot to mention the source said it was Potosi silver.

Anybody come up with anything?
I've been asking old people. None of them knew either.
Might be time for Antiques Roadshow.

I think he's right that it's for boiled eggs. I didn't see the exact one, Google: vintage egg topper. Google image.
