Description:
- The object for sale is the one that corresponds to the photos, which in turn are complemented in this Description, with the aim of providing a better knowledge of the object, and never being a detailed exhibition of it.
- Incomplete Construction plumb bob, from the First Half of the 20th century, with a threaded head, and without keeping the nut.
- It is shaped like a cylinder and cone, 6.9 cm. high, 2.1 cm. in diameter and weighing 82 gr.
- The Plumada was probably made in southern Europe.
- The body of the plummet is hollow, made up of a conical and cylindrical part. The lower conical part can be unscrewed to reverse its position, and can be screwed back in, with the apex of the cone towards the inside of the cylinder, for protection.
- The apex of the cone is made of iron so that its hardness is greater than that of the bronze, thus preventing its deterioration.
- The execution quality of the Plumada is good, both the yellow bronze casting and the turning of the Weights.
- No distinguishing mark, brand or contrast has been found on the Pesa, which could provide data on the site where it was manufactured, data on the manufacturer, as well as data on its characteristics.
Conservation and damage:
- The Plumada, considered as a whole, is in a good state of conservation, bearing in mind the following observations
- This plumb bob has been well treated, so that the weight is kept in a very good state despite the many small blows and rubbing, both on the edges and faces. The cast iron of the Pesa has no imperfections.
- The meeting between the iron of the vertex of the cone and the bronze of the cone is not uniform, as the iron block is slightly off-centre.
- A very good and beautiful period patina is preserved throughout the Plumb.
Comments:
- Both the measurements and the weight are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector's item and as a decorative element.
- Because it is inevitable the differences of tonalities between photos and reality, you must have in mind that the tones of the colours of the photos are not exactly equal to the tones of the real colours.
- The object shows the wear and tear of its time, as well as some stains. It has small flaws.
- The data provided here are not contrasted personal opinions.
