I noticed that someone posted this same exact tap. Leoni's Adamas, likely made in the late 1800s. I don't know much about it, or what it's worth. The only thing I've found was that one other post from 14 years ago.
Hi, halfasleeprhett. :-)
You didn't link the other CW S&T post. Here it is:
https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/10599-leonis-adamas-keg-tap
I thought it was pretty informative, but then I knew nothing about Leonis Adamas keg taps before I read it.
The only thing that wasn't addressed was value, but then CW S&T isn't a venue for selling and buying.
Here's a bit more about Leoni's Adamas tap from the November 19, 1872 issue of the Queensland Times, Ipswich Herald and General Advertiser:

It is called Leoni's patent Adamas tap, is made of refined earthenware, and fitted with a small key, which can be displaced at will.
