The bit sticking out of the pipe patifact is so you could rest it on a table or flat surface, so its a later one - age wise. Neil Title: Re: 20th Jan Finds a LOVE HEART??

Title: Re: 20th Jan Finds a LOVE HEART?? Post by: Neil on January 20, 2012, 07:22:50 PM I agree Chef - barrel tap - hence my hole question. ;)
Well done Neil Title: Re: 20th Jan Finds a LOVE HEART?? Post by: Chef Geoff on January 20, 2012, 07:32:00 PM Neil how have you got a "bottom left"? I've just got one line of photographs?
Why would it have a hole near the bottom? lol they just have one going straight through. Title: Re: 20th Jan Finds a LOVE HEART?? Post by: Neil on January 20, 2012, 07:54:14 PM Only one photo when I posted my reply Geoff - you need to spend more time on here mate! ;)
They have what we term a sprinkler hole today in cellar terms, if you have a look about half a centimetre in circumfrence - you can see it on the newly added photos. Neil Title: Re: 20th Jan Finds a LOVE HEART?? Post by: Chef Geoff on January 20, 2012, 08:02:08 PM I Know Neil, just not enough hours in the day ;D
Do you mean the normal "flow" hole. Title: Re: 20th Jan Finds a LOVE HEART?? Post by: Neil on January 20, 2012, 08:12:08 PM You need to find a few more hours! :)
No mate - the flow is just straight as I am presuming its hollow all the way down. The areator hole is normally on the side about 2/3rds of the way down - its allows air into the tap and gives you the froth on ale or makes cider a tad more lively. A pub I looked after the cellar for 6 years {Pub date circa late 1600's} still had 1800's barrel taps in it - which granted had been customised to allow new lines. The cellar was absolutely freezing and hence the beer perfect - stone walled and flag stoned floor. CAMRA winner for many years. I have a few of the later 1800's barrell taps (but not truely taps in the original sense fo the word - wheres the punch point to mallet it in} and they all have the hole towards the bottom and obviously hollow. Neil Title: Re: 20th Jan Finds a LOVE HEART?? Post by: Chef Geoff on January 20, 2012, 08:14:45 PM AHHHH! your talking about the holes on the spigot end of a tap, this is just the handle and valve which fits inside the tap.
This is the bit that's missing (http://finds.org.uk/images/thumbnails/273580.jpg) Title: Re: 20th Jan Finds a LOVE HEART??

Neil Its not Hollow in the middle ??? Could it be some kind of string instrument turning key? Cheers TF Title: Re: 20th Jan Finds a LOVE HEART??

Title: Re: 20th Jan Finds a LOVE HEART?? Post by: peanut on January 23, 2012, 02:57:23 PM the disc at the bottom is it a coin ? or a token ? when they have a hole it is usually for wearing around the neck isn't it like a love token ?
i've read recently that coins were worn round the neck to show allegience to whichever side you supported in the Civil War in case you got caught it would indicate which side you were on but not be incriminating to those not aware of the significance .? Ok Ok tell me I'm talking a load of horlicks again ::) ;D |
