LARGE IRON PLUMB BOB. RARE. S.XVIII

Description:
- Plumb bob from the first half of the 18th century without a nut and, therefore, incomplete.
- The weight is 10.7 cm high, 4.6 cm in diameter and weighs 538 gr.
- The weight, made entirely of iron, is cone-shaped, of a large size and with a fixed head.
- It has a spectacular patina and colour.
- We think that in its day, a special external treatment was made to the iron or alternatively, they used an alloy of iron with another metal, and this is what has given it this patina.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information about the place where it was made, the maker's details, or any other information.
- The plumb bob was probably made in southern Europe.
Preservation and damage:
- The plumb-bob is in a good state of preservation, although the weight has several knocks and scratches, both on the edges and edges, as well as on the faces.
- The quality of the casting and execution of the weight is very good.
- The tip is slightly chipped.
- The plumb bob has the wear of it's time.
