Buy COMPLETE WOODEN PLUMB BOB. 19TH CENTURY.

- Complete construction plumb bob from the second half of the 19th century. The cap is not original to the plumb bob—it is a modern replacement—though it matches the correct dimensions. The cord, however, is period-authentic.
- The weight is made of wood and is cylindrical in shape; it is a very unusual and rare piece.
- The head is spherical and integrated, allowing the cord to pass vertically through the entire length of the plumb bob.
- This type of plumb bob lacks a pointed tip, as it was generally used to verify vertical alignment.
- No distinguishing marks, stamps, or hallmarks have been found.
- A very fine, attractive patina is preserved across the entire plumb bob.
