Nah crowheart, Don't collect it, but find it interesting....There's a heckuva collection at the Texas Rangers museum in Waco, Tx.

Crowheart, I wish I had through the years. I had a good friend that had a display in his office I always found very interesting.

Do you, and and if so, I would like to see your display.

I don't collect it, I just end up with a bunch and it needs a new home. It has one strand cable and one strand solid.

Nope, wish I'd collected them. Fences are not just for holding livestock in. They are evidence of occupation and I love them. The only thing better are stone walls.

I cut a piece of barbed wire off of some obstacles on an isolated Norwegian beach in the 80's. Locals said the Germans put it up during the Great War. Still got it.

I just need to find it a new home. It is cut in 16 inch lengths. I spent alot of time putting fence back up from Elk and Deer.
