What is it?  It has a small peg inserted into a larger one.

Clyde if you have Chrome browser you can upload your image to the image search feature and get a lot of info on it.
If nastygunz can do it, you can too. :laf:  It's kind of fun, aint it nasty? :eyebrownod: imagesearch.jpg

Here's what image search shows us on your pic.
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.
