Didn't think it was a tool either! But seems quite oldish and turned up out of nowhere! Thanks for help so far

I’m thinking a similar item was posted hereon and if my “rememberer” is working correctly it was identified as a dining table “serving” utensil for something or other. But I don’t remember what the “item” was that it was used for serving.
