Description:
- Plumb bob built in the first half of the 20th century, with a solid bronze weight, and without conserving the nut.
- The body of the weight is cone-shaped, 7.6 cm. high and 5.8 cm. in diameter, with a threaded head.
- Thread of small size and diameter, with small thread and pitch.
- The head we think is not his. It is quite possible that the real head was lost, and a screw was put in its place.
- The head is made of iron, and is finished in the form of a nut, in order to facilitate the tightening of the head.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information about the place where it was made, the maker"s details, or any other information.
- The plumb bob is probably made in southern Europe.
Preservation and damage:
- The plumb bob is in a good state of preservation, although the weight has several small knocks and scratches.
- The quality of the bronze casting and the execution of the plumb bob is good.
- There is a very good and nice patina all over the plumb bob.
- It has a chipped tip due to it"s use.
- The plumb bob shows wear and tear typical of it"s age.
