Description

A set of 3 spouts. Sheets of iron bent to form a trough along the length. One end (in section) has been filed to form a chisel point. The opposite end shows evidence of flattening from being hammered into a tree. This type of early sap spout was used with a bucket propped up against the tree or sitting on the ground. The chisel end of the spout made its own "hole" in the tree.
