Collection of Vintage Plumb Bobs Mid Century Modern

Description

For your consideration, a collection of vintage plumb bobs, which are pointed weights used by surveyors and construction workers to establish a vertical reference line, or “plumb line”.

These tools are typically made of solid brass, steel, or iron.  They were historically essential in construction and carpentry for ensuring structures were perfectly vertical.  While largely replaced by laser levels and GPS technology today, they remain popular items for collectors of antique tools.  Variations in shape, material, and weight can indicate different manufacturers or specific uses, such as masonry or surveying
