Found it at an estate sale… has a silver marking but what is it?

“No, They’re Not Tiny Scissors — They’re Sugar Cube Tongs!” 😂🐎

Ever seen those little metal tongs and wondered why everyone’s laughing when you call them sugar cube tongs? Well… that’s exactly what they are! ☕️✨

But the real twist comes when people start comparing them to horse spurs — and here’s where it gets interesting.

They’re not actual spurs. Think of them more like a gentle bump spur — used by riders, especially those in jumping or barrel racing, to give the horse a tiny “wake-up call” without hurting it or damaging its beautiful coat.

Unlike traditional spurs, these don’t dig in or leave marks. It’s all about subtle communication — a tap, not a jab. Because in the horse world, appearance and control go hand in hand. 🐎💫

So yeah, laugh all you want — but sugar cube tongs? They’ve got some surprising horsepower behind that name. 😉
