Not sure how big it is or what the back looks like, but it might be part of a candy tong

very thin, about same thickness as cigarette cardboard.

That was my impression. I've found three (also called sugar-cube tongs)

I agree with HuntinDog, we need to see a pic of the back and a pic with it next to a coin for scale.

Nice find though Craig,
