PERICO ACORN PLUMMETS. 20Th C.

Description:
- The pericos are small plumb bobs which were carried by the master builders in their pockets.
- They were used to check the vertical, using them from a distance, and that is why they rarely had a nut.
- Even so, some pericos have a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- These are two brass pericos with threaded heads.
- They do not have the original nut. To one of them we have put a ring as a nut, with a string.
- With a very nice, acorn-like appearance, the weight is made by turning.
- The heads are roughened to hold them in place.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information on the place where it was made, the maker,s details, or any other information.
- The plumb bobs was probably made in southern Europe.
