Hollow Brass Frog Ornament

SOLD

Medium sized frog in quite heavy brass. He's caught mid leap with his mouth wide open and he is indeed, hollow so you could actually secrete stuff inside him if need be. Who'd look there? Lacquer worn in a couple of places underneath and a small spot of corrosion where the back right leg joins the body but nothing at all serious and it's in otherwise excellent condition. 

Measurements approx 13cm x 15cm x 5cm

Outdoor Tap with Brass Frog Handle

SOLD

This is an outdoor tap, suitable for standpipes or, with a suitable flange or mounting plate, as a water butt fitting and featuring a brass frog instead of a handle. It has been used as there is some verdigris and remnants of PTFE tape on the thread. I have tested it by virtue of filling it with water and while not a completely reliable test it did confirm that it does drip a bit from the stem so it may need a new washer but if you're a competent plumber this is not beyond you. While this probably isn't a complete item - some come with a backplate for mounting into a butt - new ones are in the £35 area so if you're after a budget functioning item this could be for you.

Fittings I would imagine are 19mm/3/4" BSP thread although this is, I hasten to add untested but the evidence of it having been used suggest it's pretty much standard.

Weight including packaging: 600g
