This collection includes examples of each of the variants shown on United States patent number 289,207 dated November 27, 1883. The patent was issued to Charles H. Barr, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and was assigned to his patent attorney, ThomasB. Kerr, also of Pittsburg.
This style of wire was generally used as the top wire of a fence to fulfill the lawful requirements for visible fencing. Barbed wire was sold by the pound. The smaller size barbs reduced the weight of the completed wire to allow it to be used for the remainder of the fence.
Great display. I like old barbed wire.
Thanks fortapache. Really love that you list a new one almost every day.
I always find your posts very interesting. I agree with fortapache....Great display.
Thanks buckethead. I really enjoy your posts.
Probably cheaper to put up warning signs facing the cows so they can read it.
Good idea blunderbuss2 - The trick is figuring out which language to put on the signs.
Cowese of course, unless they are Burma cattle, and then use Burmese. Alabamese would probably work.
Do you know the Fresian dialect of Cowese?
Only enough to get myself laid or killed. LOL !
Care to share the first one?

Only u could come up with this ....lol
The people I have for friends, Roy, call that "conversational". We have class. Maybe it's lower class, but it's still class ! LOL ! English is my 2nd language followed by several others. Alabamese is my native language. When I grew up in N. AL, I don't think they ever heard of that visibility law. Is that federal ?
Thanks for your praise Brunswick. Would love to see photos of the old visible wire still up in your area.
