Description:
- Construction plumb bob from the first half of the 21th century, with fixed head and nut.
- The weight is in the shape of a cone-shaped cylinder 7.3 cm high, 1.6 cm in diameter and weighs 97 gr.
- The body of the weight is made of iron, as is the nut, with a fixed head.
- Solid iron, probably made with a lathe, the marks of which can be seen on the top of the head. The aesthetics of the plumb bob are very beautiful and harmonious.
- The original plumb bob nut, made of nickel-plated iron, is preserved intact and in very good condition.
- It is very peculiar, as it is difficult to find this type of plumb bob complete and in such good condition.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information about the place where it was made, the manufacturer"s details, or any other information.
- The plumb bob was probably made in southern Europe.

Conservation 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.
- There is a very good and beautiful patina all over the plumb bob.
- The quality of the cast iron and the execution of the plumb bob is very good.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it
