✅ SOLVED Water spigot?

[Gene Mean]

Dug this at an 1876 Dutch Reformed Church Parsonage. Can anyone find any like it in old catalog?
2008 New Mexico s quarter for scale. I got that in change today. Did big doubletake. Thanks for your help.

My guess would be a Gas Valve of some kind opposed to a water spigot. Probably Victorian or so due to the elaborate design work on it. Neat find!!!

I never would have thought gas, but the Chinese were apparently piping it through bamboo chutes as early as 500bc.
