Antique taps and maple equipment. needed
Hi all, So just looking around trying to find some really old taps or maybe wooden buckets or just about anything antique maple that I can display in the sugarhouse. Not sure if anyone has anything they might want to part with but I guess its worth a shot. Been checking a few Antique shops here and there when I get a chance but pretty slim pickin's when it come to maple equipment. any help would be great.

Brad, check ebay. There's always old cast spiles and buckets on there. I pick up an old syrup can every now and then if I like the way it looks. I have about a dozen of them now.

MV.. I've got two of those one gallon cans with 'David Bascom' (from Bascom's) lables on them. I think they're from the 1960'sOriginally Posted by mvdeerxing

I have a display board made up with about 18 different old spouts and 1 wooden bucket along with a 3 x 6 old english tin flues pan I have on display. No they are not for sale! But I found them along the way. When I bought a 3x8 evaporator from a retired producer he had all the taps for sale. The 3x6 tin pan came in a deal I bought from another retired producer and the wooden bucket came from a visitor to my sugarhouse during an open house, I got it for 1 qt of syrup. The main thing is just keep looking, these will come available in time, just be ready, and keep looking.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Brad, i have 6pc of cast spouts that my great grandfather gave my father to use. My father has not used them sense he was 10. he believes they were made in 1904. I will have a pic later today.
