Description:
- 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 have a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- The thread is small in size and diameter, with a thread and a small pitch.
- On the head of the plumb bob is the inscription '00'.
- It has the inscription with the number '4' which corresponds to the size of the weight.
- The body of the plumb bob has the inscription 'MONUMENT'. This probably corresponds to the English 'Monument Brand' first registered in 1908, which previously started as 'A Collier & Co'. The brand still exists today, under the name 'Monument Tools'.
- The body of the weight is bronze with an iron tip.
- It is very important to be able to identify the maker, the place where it was made and other details, if the object has a distinctive mark or contrast.
- The plumb bob was probably made in Southern Europe.
