I recently made an impulse buy from eBay of 6 antique poplar taps that were hand made. They look to be the genuine article. These would have been used over 100 years ago before cast iron taps became popular. Wooden buckets would have been placed on the ground beneath the taps to collect the sap.

Anyone have a clue what these are worth?

I have been collecting old maple stuff for a couple of years. I ushally am able to find old taps for 2-5 dollars.I saw some fakes made from old barn pegs and a wire bag tie hook for $10.00 each. I think if you like them they are worth what you paid and then some. -jeff
