possible barrel tap

[donkarlos]

Hey all- it's a 1900's dump site for the most part. Cork-type bottles (mostly broken) but found some clock gears, plated spoon, oil lamp stuff and this spigot.
Wondered if it is a barrel tap.
Thanks

Could be a Victorian win barrel tap...

Seems different though. The handle only goes out in one direction

Ranch had barrel faucets like that on bulk oil barrels when I was a kid.

Interesting. So, basically some kind of a spigot. Guess I'll keep it
