Anybody know what this is?

My cousin found this a few weeks ago and I was wondering what it may be? Does anybody have a idea what it may be? Thanks.

Can you get us a couple more pics with something beside it for size reference. From the above pic I would say it could be from a money clip.

Really need to post both sides and give something to reference size. Wish I could ID for ya but if you follow the steps below you will be amazed at what some of these folks can ID. HH

Ha right.. My questions what size is it.. Is it 6"x2" or is it 1"x 5/8"

 

[flyinryan2]

Sorry it's in a display case I'll have to take it out to get a pic if the back. It's about a 1.5" long by .5" wide.

Is that a pic of the Lincoln Memorial on it? Souvenir pin maybe?

Possibly an Emblem off of a bicycle.

That may be a clip on the back of it! Looking at the artifact in zoom, I don't think that is representing the Lincoln memorial but- it could be. You can somewhat make more out in zoom you can see the construction of it, I think it dates to the Victorian era (which was from 1837-1901) and possibly 1840s-1860s or the later era . When possible post photo of back!

Looks like a piece of broken candy/chocolate tongs.

I think your photo is upside-down. Took the liberty of turning it over.

Instead of Lincoln Memorial, I think it says UIHE. Perhaps I'm seeing things.

I could see that too....

i am thinking musical, maybe part of a page clip for sheet music for someone who played the trumpet in a marching band

Here are more pics. Can't tell if the back is folded over on purpose or if it got folded like that.

I'm with cheese. (Never thought I'd EVER type THOSE words... ) I think they are broken chocolate tongs. From the 1890's well into the 20th C every box of chocolates came with folding brass tongs so ladies wouldn't get their white gloves messy with melted chocolate.
