While they resemble bread tongs, their compact size and specific "spoon and flat" head shape are characteristic of vintage or antique sugar tongs used for picking up sugar cubes or small pastries.
These are typically U-shaped spring tongs. One end often features a spoon-like bowl, while the other can be a flat or slightly curved spatula-like surface.
Most vintage versions are made of silver-plate or stainless steel, which can develop a dark patina or tarnish over time, similar to the one in your photo.
Similar designs appear in military surplus mess kits, such as German Army issue sets where a spoon, fork, and knife might nest together, sometimes utilizing a similar metal clamp or tong mechanism.
