Here is a modern copy of the one you found... this is made by Master Blacksmith Elmer Roush ... Who creates historically accurate replicas.

Nice group of finds! The tubular thing with the square opening is a cap from a keg sigot. The key to turn the spigot on and off would have fit through the square opening.

Love to see this after electrolysis.
