Description:
- Instrumental plumb bob from the second half of the 20th century, with a solid nickel-plated iron weight and without preserving the nut.
- The body of the weight is cone-shaped, 9.1 cm. long, 5.1 cm. in diameter and 398 gr. in weight, with a threaded head.
- Thread of small size and diameter, with small thread and pitch.
- The threaded head has a rough finish to facilitate tightening.
- We think that the plumb bob is nickel-plated, although it could be chrome-plated.
- 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 plumb bob has several knocks and scratches, both on the edges and 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

Comments:
- Both the Measurements, as well as the Weight, are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector- The tones of the colours in the photos are not equal to the tones of the real colours.
- The object for sale is the one that corresponds to the photos. The description is not a detailed exposition of the object.
- The data provided here are personal opinions not contrasted.
