Antique Two-Piece Trocar Champagne Tap, Soda Tap
This is a beautiful example of this style champagne tap with ebony wood ribbed handle the handle screws out of the valve housing and is attached to a sharp spike (trocar).
Made of round wood handle, nickel-platted brass spout, and steel Trocar spike.
Operation,
The trocar pin extends beyond the tube with which it forms a continuous spike. With metal cover and cork intact, the device is inserted into the cork until the end of the shaft/stem is visible. Now the wood handle is screwed out of the shaft and the spike/wire is withdrawn from the trocar. Then the tap is closed with the side valve until the champagne is needed.
History,
Champagne Taps & Soda Taps were designed to pierce the cork of a bottle and not allow the carbonation to escape. Once the tap is screwed through the cork you open the valve to pour your beverage then close the valve to prevent the carbonation from escaping.
Circa, 1890-1910
Measures, 7" long
Condition, as found condition, light wear on finish.
