Description:
- Ornamental plumb bob with nut and threaded head.
- It has a double cone shape, with very nice ornamental details; which makes it a plumb bob for exhibition.
- The all bronze nut is probably original to the plumb bob.
- The thread is large in size and diameter, with a large thread and pitch.
- Along the length of the body there are several turned grooves of subtle depth, creating a harmonious overall effect.
- It has a ring at the equator of the dial, which gives it great aesthetic appeal. It also has a fluted head for added grip.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information on where it was made, the maker,s details, or any other information.
- The plumb bob is probably made in southern Europe, with the possibility that it was made in Spain.

Conservation and Damage:
- The plumb bob is in a good state of preservation, with many, but very small knocks and scratches, both on the edges and on the faces.
- The quality of execution of the plumb bob is very good, both the casting and the turning of the weight, all with simple and very good finishes.
- It retains a spectacular patina.
- On the body of the plumb bob there is a small casting flaw.

Comments:
- Both the Measurements, as well as the Weight, are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector,s item and as a decorative element.
- The tones of the colours in the photos are not the same as the tones of the real colours.
