Old Barbed Wire | Collectors Weekly

Posted 12 years ago

I acquired a box of old barbed wire at an auction and I know nothing about it, but I like it and that's why I bought it. Does anyone know anything about this type, age and what it's called? There are other kinds included, but I was just wondering about this one, because it looks unusual.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.
