What did I buy on CL? Taps, kegs, and bottles, oh my...

I stumbled on a loaded over & under fridge kegerator conversion on craiglist the other day that I couldn't pass up. I already have a two-tap side-by-side kegerator, but I'm always looking for deals on ball lock kegs, and that's how I found this ad. For $200, I brought home, in the unconventional order of what I was most interested in:

• ball lock keg* in decent condition
  
• a 10-lb CO2 tank** & regulator
• an older flow-control Perlick faucet
• a never-used, crazy side-action pilsner faucet
• three taps of various styles
• a generic Dogfish Head wooden faucet handle
• an empty 1/4-barrel keg in good condition
• a bunch of lines & ball lock fittings
• an empty 5-lb CO2 tank
• the converted fridge itself, with a left-side shank installed

I'm offloading the fridge, the 5-lb bottle, one of the Sanke taps, lines, regulator, and supplying my own generic faucet & some air lines to a work buddy who's coming by tomorrow to pilfer my haul. Now, for the crazy parts I need some help identifying...

What style of keg tap is this? It seems to be built very well, and it's really clean.

Check out this side-handled, flow-control pilsner tap! I'm not a big fan of brass finish... but on this, it fits. On the handle bit, there's an engraved phrase, "The Original Pilsner by Pilsen."

The guy that sold it worked at a known local taphouse chain. He was selling half his setup, and I was happy to take it. The ball lock keg is *completely full with a homebrew entered into a local competition that he described as "alright." I'll try it as soon as I can gas it up. And the 10-lb CO2 tank is **full as well. Score.

I half started this thread to brag... and half to ask what the hell I bought!

Don't think it counts as bragging if you don't know what it is... LOL

I just found this HBT thread, by searching Google, actually. I can't find any other reference for this tap. It came with a shank adapter (shown in photos) and fits right onto a standard shank.

Good point!

That faucet might be worth taking somewhere to get checked out might be worth some coin

Thanks Smitty. I actually brought everything to a homebrew exchange on Sunday. I reluctantly sold the pils faucet for $95, the Sanke coupler for $20, and the Dogfish head tap handle for $5. A guy at work picked up the fridge, regulator, CO2 tank, and an old standard tap I had sitting around for $150... so I made some money & kept what I was looking for.
