QuoteThis item is a vintage wooden barrel tap or spigot, likely used for dispensing beverages like whiskey or beer from a cask.
It features a manual handle on top to control liquid flow.
These items were often produced by companies like Redlich & Co. around the turn of the 20th century.
Similar items are frequently collected as primitive breweriana or rustic bar decor.
The example shown is approximately 8 to 10 inches in length.
Wow! Thank you! You guys are quick. I had a hunch it had something to do with a plug for a barrel but had not found it online. Now I see more holes through and how they line up to make a turn on and turn off spigot.
FYI I found it in an old drawer when helping my sister to clean out some old junk.

Does fresh maple syrup taste better? For some reason this morning it appeals to me to be right there where they boil it down, and put it on some Coyote brand pancakes cooked on the spot! Pitw will know the pancake mix I mean.
Best pipin hot right out of the boiler!. it actually tastes pretty good while it's still raw before it gets boiled down.
60 degrees here today. :yoyo:

I'm envious! It stays cold here, with a heavy frost this morning. My old bod is cold all the time, can't warm up. Yet our fruit trees are all in full bloom, daffodils been blooming for days.
And to Nasty, I would love to taste hot fresh maple sap!
I've been going to the Sugar house since I was a little kid. A lot of memories there. All the young people do most of the work now we just sit around and yell orders at them and stan the mountain man is in charge of quality production and control lol.

I surely do. Been in my tickle trunk forever. Makes pancakes and fish batter better.
17° last night. The walleye run hasn't started in the Connecticut river either.
