More wagon/buggy parts and a maple syrup tap???

Here's a few odd things I pulled from the foundation yesterday....
There's a few broken pieces of china with a fish on it...thought that was pretty neat...
Then a old lock and a key...that doesn't fit the lock, The rabbit it plastic and says Cracker Jack on the bottom, The thing with holes I really don't know what it is...maybe a lid to a shaker thing, A really long nail...and then the Tap??
At first I thought it was a old type of faucet but when I cleaned it wood came out of it so I'm thinking this was either a barrel tap or maybe maple syrup?

I'm thinking a old shovel...

Buggy or wagon part......was this possibly where the reins were used to steer? Also still has some leather sticking to it....

Here's the tap....when at first I thought it was a old faucet I thought it would look neat if it were somewhere in with my plants...so I put it in the window with my cuttings I'm trying to get to root....

I'm guessing barrel tap of some sort. Are you sure it was wood and not cork? It might have been a water cooler tap or something like that as well. That "shovel" is most likely upside down and I believe was used to keep a piece of equipment from digging in too deep. They have the same thing only smaller attached to the bottom of snow plows. It helps to keep them from ripping up pavement and whatnot. Jason
