Description:
- Plumb bob with walnut for Construction of the First Half of the 19th century, with solid iron weight, 5,3 cm. high, 3,5 cm. diameter and a weight of 175 gr.
- The iron weight has a threaded head. The body of the weight has a cylindrical and conical shape.
- The thread is large in size and diameter, with a large thread and pitch.
- The nut is original from the plumb bob, made of iron, it is preserved intact and in very good condition.
- This plumb bob is very curious, all iron including the nut, and with a very original tip.
- We think it comes from India, given its design and manufacture.
- We have not found any distinctive mark or contrast, which could provide information about the place where it was made, the maker"s data, as well as other data.
- The plumb bob was probably made in southern Europe.
Conservation and damage:
- The plumb bob is in a good state of preservation, with many, but very minor knocks and scratches.
- It has a very good and beautiful patina throughout the plumb bob. The quality of the casting and the execution of the plumb bob is good.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it"s age.
