Two Old Plumb Bobs with Wound String antique carnival the fun of language

the fun of language

It's been a long time since I've found a beautiful 19th century deck of cards

Very charming I think

and that metal wrap with row of nails along the top

It will stand on end if learned against a wall or something

Two Old Plumb Bobs with Wound String antique carnival the fun of languageIt is actually the dowel with tip that sold me on this; I love brass and steel plumb bobs or all shapes and sizes, but even more I love the wound string and long point at the end of this wooden dowel, which would allow it to draw a plumb line as well. Useful in the studio or in the tool box for sure, but equally just beautiful things. Steel plumb bob: 4 7 8" l. Dowel: 8 5 8" l. Surface wear as evident but overall good condition.
