Old Keg Tap

[Riggleman]

Anyone have any ideas the age of this item. I. believe its a keg tap from a wooden keg or barrel by the threading/groves on the back. Its made of brass. Unable to locate symbols or letters.

That's an early one. 18th C. Nice dig!

I was thinking for a gas outlet.

All we need now is a keg! Mine came from an early site as well.
