Not sure of origin but a nice engraved little item I'll find room for somewhere.  |

firstfrog2013 , Your item appears to be a print made from the British American Bank Note Company's Die#516 which is now part of the Bank of Canada Museum's National Currency Collection.

Weird that the image is reversed but title remains readable?

Flip the image of the die horizontally and the image and text appear as they would on a print. |

Some of those engravers had great skill.
