Description:
- Plumb bob, both construction and instrumental, from the first half of the 20th century, with its original nut.
- The bronze weight has the shape of a cylinder and a cone, with the tip made of iron.
- Very curious and rare. The lower part can be unscrewed to invert its position, leaving the conical part visible. Once used, it is unscrewed again with the apex of the cone towards the inside of the cylinder, for its protection.
- The thread is small in size and diameter, with a small thread and pitch.
- The nut is very curious, square and flat, being original to the plumb bob.
- We have found an inscription on the nut: twice the number 6, and on the lower part of the same nut, the number 7.
- Apart from the inscription on the nut, we have not found any distinctive mark or contrast, which could provide information about the place where it was made, the manufacturer"s details, as well as other data.
- The plumb bob was probably made in southern Europe.
Preservation and damage:
- The plumb bob is in a good state of preservation, although the weight has several knocks and scratches, both on the edges and edges, as well as on the faces.
