This rare plumb bob was used for surveying
in mines. The hollow body would be filled with fuel and the wick
would be lighted. Then the surveyor could sight on the flame. It is
in excellent condition retaining most of the original anodized
finish. The body is 4 1/4" tall by 1 7/8" in diameter. The gimbal
ring is 3" in diameter. The original chains and hanging hook are
approx. 39" long. The case is 3 5/8" square by 6 5/8" tall. It is in
solid condition but most of the carrying strap is missing--only the
parts that were fastened to the case remain. The plate on the front
is from the Hughes Owens Co., a retailer of surveying instruments
with stores in the larger Canadian cities. I have also listed a
Keuffel&Esser mining transit. I apologise for the poor photo
quality. If someone requires a clearer image or a different view let
me know. TERMS: Buyer to pay shipping. No handling fee. Payment by
check or money order. Payment refunded if item is not as described.
Lay away plan available--please enquire re. terms. Please ask any
questions before bidding. Thanks for looking and good luck.
