    This may or may not be terribly interesting to anybody else, otherwise being a mostly ordinary solid brass/bronze hose barb faucet with cast aluminum handle, made by the STERLING FAUCET CO. as stamped on its valve shaft. (pic 2)

    It is a bit more entertaining for me because of where it was recovered a year or two ago -- that being a small pile of construction/destruction junk outside of another house in my neighborhood -- which makes it both 'standard equipment' and 'identical' to the same exact sort of faucet installed and still in use on my own home. (but the handle on mine is loose, this one remains firmly attached) I'm pretty sure it wasn't removed because it was faulty, simply because of other work being done -- its insides still look perfectly usable and it actually had a stub of original pipe threaded into it when I found it. Since my entire block was built in 1954, I think I'm pretty certain of its age...? ;-) :-)

    I haven't decided whether I'm gonna try to polish it up a little bit or just leave it alone...?
