Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Is the handle broken off the tap or is it one that takes a key? Love that dark green patina. Gary
 

sweet, love that silver
 

Nicely done on the tap, and other finds.

For some odd reason I'm not seeing silver regarding the spoon/fork handle, is it just crud covered?

It’s blackened silver

It’s monogrammed looks like a K or R

Ok, now I am seeing that. Thanks for the additional photos.
 

Nice! Great tap. I've been trying to get my coil over one for a long time.

Looks like the work of the Stieff company, local silversmiths.

I seen people find these, but never thought I was going to find one
 

8Reales, there was a well known silversmith in the Baltimore area that created this type of floral pattern. S. Kirk & Son. I found one a while back.

Exactly what came to mind when I saw the pattern
