Peck Bros. & Co. New Haven Conn tap faucet - 10/10/2006 11:13:12 PM    blobbottlebob   Posts: 106 Joined: 12/20/2005 Status: offline Anybody have any ideas about an antique brass tap faucet from Peck Bros. & Company out of New Haven Connecticut? I found it while looking for antique bottles underwater. It was attached to a bucket. For the full story of how I found it,  please see my entry at the mrbottles forum. Any information is appreciated! Thanks in advance, Bob (http://www.mrbottles.com/FORUM/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=285) Attachment (1) < Message edited by blobbottlebob -- 10/10/2006 11:16:11 PM > Post #: 1

I'm guessing that the bottles that I found ranged from about the mid 1880s to the 19 teens. I think that the faucet was made by Peck Bros. probably specifically for this application. The threads in the cast iron are a perfect match to the faucet but they don't match modern threads... Maybe this was a small company with limited distribution? (in reply to blobbottlebob) Post #: 6
