Last week I ran across this nice looking old plumb bob in a leather holder. It was at an auction and has a price tag on it of $100.00. I didn't pay the 100.00 and I love the auction! This is a "Globe 14" made in the USA by Eugene Dietzgen Company of Chicago. It has a steel tip that can be changed. It is brass and has a very nice patina. The Case is made by Keuffel & Esser Company. I like the leather case but I don't believe it is the case that originally went with this plumb bob. The case probably dates to around the 1950's or 1960's. Still a nice case and protects the plumb bob. This is considered a rare version because of the shape or so I have read.. Well It is still ready to be used, but will likely retire to the display cabinet. More Patriot Picking coming soon!

I found a wide assortment of items while out this past week. Thought I would share a few of them with you all. First up I found this nice old wooden hand plane. I haven't working on any research for it yet and I am having a bit of trouble making out all of the letters on the iron and the plane. The letters on the plane iron are also a little hard at this time to make out. Of course your eyes may be better than mine. Then I got this nice Brass Dietzgen Plumb Bob. You had to look pretty hard to find the name and information. Then I ran into a couple of items that just made there way home with us. This nice wicker rocker sits pretty nice on the deck. And I for some unknown reason just liked this old metal adjustable stool. And I have another use for these old adjustable window bars but that will be a topic later. This Patriot Picking is just way too much fun!
