A Trio of Brass Collectables Including a Plumb Bob, Figural Corkscrew, and Lidded Box - A small collection consisting of three brass items. The first is a plumb bob, featuring a cast brass pear-shaped body with a knurled screw-down cap. A multi-coloured twisted cord in shades of pink, white, and tan is attached through the cap. The tool terminates in a tapered steel point. The second item is a circular brass box with a low, flattened profile and a hinged lid. The lid has a small thumb-piece for opening. The third item is a figural brass corkscrew. The handle is cast in the shape of a cat wearing a bow tie, surmounted by a suspension ring, and featuring two curved finger grips. A steel worm is attached to the base of the brass handle. There are cast characters visible on the bow tie area of the cat's handle, but they are worn and not legible as a specific name or word.
