Description:
- Plumb bob built in the first half of the 20th century, with a solid iron weight, and without preserving the nut.
- The body of the weight is cone-shaped, 8 cm. high and 4 cm. in diameter, with a threaded head.
- The thread is small in size and diameter, with a small thread and pitch.
- The head is made of bronze and is finished in the shape of a nut, in order to facilitate the tightening of the head.
- A mark has been found on the body of the plumb bob: 300, which corresponds to the size of the Pesa.
- The fact that a plumb bob has a distinctive mark, mark or contrast, other than the number of its size, is a very rare detail and of great importance for the interest of the plumb bob.
- The plumb bob was probably made in southern Europe.
