Plumb Bob
Also exhibited as Plumb Circle and Just Plumb
Plumb Bob reminded someone of a book. He and his brother used to hang around my shop; they were eight or ten years old. I told them it reminded me of Snoopy, their dog. Their eyes lit up with recognition. Snoopy was a nervous beagle who spent most of his days at the end of his chain, pacing.
