PLUMB BOB FOR CONSTRUCTION WITH NUT.

Description:
Measures:Nut: Width: 3,6 cm.
Diameter: 4,5 cm.
Description:
- Complete plumb bob for the construction of the first half of the 20th century, with a solid weight of 8.2 cm. high and 3.6 cm. in diameter. The head is threaded, conserving the bronze nut and the string.
- The body of the weight is shaped like a cylinder and cone. It is made of yellow bronze with the exception of the apex of the cone which is made of iron.
- The width of the nut is 3.6 cm, coinciding with the diameter of the weight, also 3.6 cm.
- The Nut has a slightly coppery bronze colour, being of a different shade from the yellow bronze of the Weight, so we believe that both bronzes belong to different castings.
- The execution quality of the Plumb bob is very good, both the casting and the turning of the Weight and the Nut, all with simple and very good finishes.
- Chiselled bands can be seen in both the Weight and the Walnut.
- The name 'J. Ramiro Pareja' is inscribed on the Walnut.
- Apart from the inscription on the Walnut, no distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information about the place where it was manufactured, information about the manufacturer and other information.
- The Plumb bob is probably made in southern Europe, with the possibility that its place of manufacture is in Spain.
- A very good and beautiful period patina is preserved throughout the Plumb bob.

Conservation and damages:
- The Plumb bob is in good state of conservation, having many, but very small blows and rubs, as much in the edges and faces.
- The cast iron of the Plumb bob has no imperfections.

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, it must be kept in mind that the tones of the colours in the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the real colours.
- The Plumb bob on sale is the one corresponding 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.
