COMPLETE PLUMB BOB WITH NUT. CYLINDRICAL.

Description:
- Complete construction plumb bob from the second half of the 19th century. It likely originated in Central Europe.
- The weight body is made of bronze and is cylindrical in shape.
- The head is turned and screws onto the weight body; it is vertically pierced to allow the cord to pass through.
- The winding block is the original one; it is made of wood, shaped like a rectangular prism (parallelepiped), and features a turned top finial.
- The cord is from the period, though not the original one; a replacement has been attached.
- This type of plumb bob lacks a pointed tip, as it was used to verify verticality.
- No distinguishing marks, manufacturer stamps, or hallmarks have been found.

Conservation and Damage:
- The plumb bob is in very good condition, although the weight shows various dings and scuffs on its edges, corners, and surfaces.
- A very fine, attractive patina is preserved across the entire plumb bob.
- The quality of the plumb bob's craftsmanship is very high.
- The plumb bob shows wear consistent with it’s age.
