Brass
Plumb Bob w/ Patented Internal Reel Top
This is a neat plumb bob I have never seen before. The idea was
patented and the patentee / inventor, a Mr. Peacock hailed from Oroville CA.
The top portion was designed to be fitted to most standard size plumb bobs, and
allowed the user to precisely set the length of the line with a twist of the
top. Once the string breaks you need special pliers and about an hour to
restring it. It is all set up and ready to go right now.
Good+ ..... $150.00

External Reel Plumb Bob On the left in original Box is an external reel bob from Glendale CA. It is late in the scheme of things but very nicely done and the first I have seen in many years. The tension on the string is controlled with the top nut and it is quite easy to adjust to be right over the point you are setting up over. A better idea reintroduced to compete with the flug they offer today. Different. Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic
