PLUMB BOB PERICO WITH ANAGRAM. JO. IRON. 19th C.

Description:
- The pericos are small plumb bobs that 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.
- This perico has a great peculiarity, and that is that it has an anagram corresponding, supposedly, to an owner. The initials: "JO".
- It has a fixed head and is made of solid iron.
- Apart from the anagram, 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 perico is in a good state of preservation, with several knocks and scratches, both on the edges and edges, as well as on the faces.
- A spectacular patina has been preserved all over the perico.
- The quality of the casting and workmanship is very good.
- The plumb bob shows wear typical of it’s age.
