Description:
- Incomplete instrumental plumb bob from the first half of the 20th century, with a solid bronze weight and without preserving the nut.
- The body of the weight is cone-shaped, 18.8 cm. long, 4,4 cm. in diameter and weighs 907 gr., with a threaded head.
- Both the body of the weight and the head are made of bronze, while the tips are made of iron.
- The thread is large in size and diameter, with a thread and a small pitch.
- A distinctive mark has been located on the body of the sinker; 32. OZ, which corresponds to the size of the weight. The 32 ounces equals 907.185 gr.
- The fact that the object has a Distinctive, Mark or Contrast is of great importance in order to be able to identify data such as its maker, the place where it was made and other details.
- The plumb bob was probably made in Southern Europe.
Conservation and damage:
- The plumb bob is in a good state of preservation, with many, but very minor knocks and scratches.
- The plumb bob has a very good and beautiful patina throughout. The quality of the bronze casting and the execution of the plumb bob is very good.
- The plumb bob shows wear typical of its age.
