It looks like brass. There are no threads on the bottom. Kind of looks like a face don't it.
























Dug it up this am.

Hello Tcim. That is a really strange piece. Maybe part of an old water faucet?

spigot end of a tree sap tap - that's a very cool piece! Very nice

Any ideas on how it worked? And is that a face on it? Also how old would it be.

I just googled antique tree sap tap. All of them came to a point at the end. That spike the way it's lined up would not hold a bucket. So I don't know.

Looks like the nozzle off an old pump.

I thnk the "nose" would be the part that kept the pail hooked onto the tap - the point that would have been hammered into the tree appears to be missing. The knob at the bottom would stuck with a mallet to drive the tap into the tree. I think your's is a very early piece indeed.

I marked it as solved. Did not see a match, but what else could it be.

Thanks
