Plumb bob, brass

1963.22 c. 1820 Brass, steel 96 mm long

Turned brass with a steel tip, the line hole worn to one side by years of hanging the same way. Found in made ground during drainage work and given to us by the contractor.

Nothing about it says who used it. It is here because every wall in this building was set by one of these.
