Some of you might have seen my thread of old antiques for sale. These came from the same house I am clearing out to rebuild.
I almost threw a box away but felt some weight in it and dug to the bottom. All trash on top and then all these strands of barbed wire through the years. So I figured out what the trash was on top. It was all the papers and research to date these. There are numbers on each strand.
All the research and papers are gone, they were just shreds and brittle pieces falling apart. Wasn't even one full page that was in tact.
So I know nothing about them other than, they are old and my grand mother LOVES this kind of thing. I am going to put them on some wood I took out of the place these were found. Just need to find a cool way to mount them AND more importantly, date them again.
Was thinking I will put a little label under each one, with the year range it was used.
Reason I am posting this is for some help on where to start researching the age. TBH always amazes me with the knowledge here.
I can take better photos, I just broke up the main shot into 3. I wrapped them all up and stored them for now.
