Needed something to serve from in Killarney, so knocked this up in just a few hours with some extra 9X1 i had laying about.
Painted with chalkboard paint (very fast drying).
The left tap label was popped out, filled with body filler, sanded and chalkboarded up.

Class, well done. Nice idea with the filler. I keep trying to cut out oval labels! ^-^
I LOVE turned wood handles.
The wood one was Carlsberg, it might be a handy enough one to find
Carling have beautiful faucets, but it hurts to search for them on ebay. What must the google ad bots think of me?!
These would put lead in your pencil

Anybody know was Wm Daniel Mary Street a pub or a Brewery?
Update;
Looks like he was the maker of them extract below from Griffiths Valuation Mary Street 1854
Got wood there, alright!
The ad says their "led" pipes in the tap.
But I remember seeing taps like that in my family's old pub in Rosscarbery, but it's long gone now.
:-[ Sorry slow off the mark there, I thinks its dis dat deese and dose led :D
I am guessing the tap was to control foam?
Bet those taps could tell a few stories.
