Antique Barbed
Posted on Wednesday, October 26, 2011 in Western Collectibles
collecting barbed wire for a hobby? huh?
on a recent trip to Houston we stopped at an antique shope and umong the items were about 100 5in long barbed wire strands ... The man told me it was because some people collect it SO my question is ...
Does anyone out there collect wire or know someone who does ... and what is the insersting part about it? are there more than one design?
My grandpa collected barbed wire. He was a surveyor and would find it while working. He had a piece of plywood with probably 15 pieces on it, labeled. It's probably of interest to people who are into agricultural history. Just like anything made by humans, it had to be designed, and it went through an evolution, and some styles worked better than others, and some were probably cheaper to make than others.
