Nice find! I'm no expert but didn't gold get stamped in karats in a certain year and if it's marked solid gold than it's before the 1800's?It definitely looks like a one of a kind and made all with ancient tools. What about contacting an antique dealer. I think there is a website called Ruby Lane which deals in antiques. Google the name and see if they would take a look at your pics. I know I have seen Victorian antiques on their sight, but it could be something brought over from England a looooooong time ago. Could be worth 5 or 6 figures who knows. I vote it the find of the year. Just stay away from that GOOD OLE TOM Guy rofl
