Buy BRONZE PERICO PLUMB BOB. IRON TIP. 20Th Century.

- 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 are fitted with a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- The lower part can be unscrewed to reverse its position, leaving the conical part visible. Once used, it is unscrewed again with the apex of the cone towards the inside of the cylinder for protection.
- The perico is unscrewed halfway down the body of the plumb bob, leaving the thread on the opposite side to the usual one. This thread is small in size and large in diameter, with a medium thread and medium pitch.
- With a very nice appearance, the weight is manufactured by turning. It has an iron tip.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information about the place where it was made, the maker,s details, or any other information.
- The plumb bob was probably made in southern Europe.
