1890's Maple Tree Taps

This pair of Antique Iron Warner Sap Spiles/Taps would be a great addition to your collection of Farmhouse memorabilia! Some history of the Warner spouts: "Warner obtained his first patent in 1893 it appears that he used this design only generally in the initial production of his spouts. As discussed in detail in Hale Mattoon’s Maple Spouts Spiles Taps & Tools, over the 1890s and early 1900s Warner continued to make slight modifications to his designs never really adhering to the specifics of the patent image from any given year." Both spouts are in good condition with minor wear and rust which is reflective of age and use. Each is 3" in length. These were collected by our Father back when he was making Maple Syrup and was interested in the history of it.
