Instrument plumb bob WITHOUT Nut. 19TH CENTURY. Pear

Description:
- Instrumental plumb bob from the first half of the 19th century without a nut and therefore incomplete. It is possibly filled with lead, with a small threaded spherical head.
- The pear-shaped weight is 8,4 cm high, 3,1 cm in diameter and 155 g in weight.
- The Plumb bob is probably made in southern Europe.
- The Head is probably a later arrangement. The male of the thread is fixed to the Head with tin or lead. The Head is drilled vertically and horizontally to be able to pass the string.
- The body of the weight is made of bronze with an iron tip.
- It has a very good and beautiful patina throughout the plumb bob. The quality of execution of the Plumb bob is good.
- No distinguishing marks or contrasts have been found that could provide information on the place where it was manufactured, information on the manufacturer and data on it's characteristics.

Conservation and damage:
- The Plumb bob is in good state of conservation, having the Weigh many, but very small blows and rubs, all corresponding to a quite careful use of the Plumb bob.
- The foundry of the Plumb bob has no imperfections.

Comments:
- Both measurements and weight are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector's item and as a decorative element.
- Because it is inevitable the differences of tonalities between photos and reality, you must have in mind that the tones of the colours of the photos are not exactly equal to the tones of the real colours.
- The Plummet on sale is the one corresponding to the photos, which in turn are complemented in this Description, with the aim of providing a better knowledge of the Object, and never being a detailed exhibition of it.
- The data provided here are not contrasted personal opinions.
