cparktdUnusual old barb wire type.
Found this piece, very fragile, at the back fence of my property. Never saw any like it before and google is no help either.
Two interconnected strands... the wire that ties them together is integrated in the barbs.
I found it interesting...
Might make a man cave decoration mounted on an old board.

LOL! Good one. You actually made me go back and look for type-o's in my OP before I saw what you did there!

amalsThere was a thread here quite awhile back about barbed wire types. A quick search did not turn it up, but it was pretty interesting.

clipper1that looks like a section of v-mesh horse fencing to me.
https://www.horsefencing.org/h...esh-horse-fence.htmlJust about the best wire fencing, for any large critters.

drill sgtCan not tell you where to look but there are people that have barbed wire collections that date back to the early days since it was introduced and used....... some with very extensive displays....... happy hunting. ............................ drill sgt.

jed7s9bIf you’re ever near LaCrosse Kansas there is a barbed wire museum that has more varieties of barbed wire than can be imagined. Samples from all over the world.

Indeed it does, minus any barbs. I need to snoop around the back fence for more evidence!

bendableI forgot which museum,where .
They had a display of two hundred and thirty types of barbed wire.
They had a two up horse drawn wagon,
That the wire salesman used to haul the samples in and take deposits for fence orders.

I was just going to suggest reaching out to them. We have never stopped there but I bet it would be an interesting place to visit.
