Here’s the tap handle. It’s a beautiful looking piece of wood. These would be great if you were looking for a blank canvas for your own custom tap handle. The beautiful wood grain also stands well by itself.
The only marking on mine was a stamp on the top

Conclusions
This is basic tap handle, that’s beautiful in it’s simplicity. It looks great as is and could make a good canvas if you’re looking to design your own tap handles. I got this for under $10 and consider it a bargain, especially considering the fact that it’s made in the USA.
