I have a feet hundred feet of this stuff in one of my out buildings.

Brinkerhof's Twisted Ribbon Wire, patent was from 1879 in Texas or Oklahoma, I forget which for sure, down that way thou.

I took a small piece of it to a barred wire show a few years back just to get it ID'd, should took the whole pile I had and sold it all. I have no use for it. Bunch of people at the show really geek & nerded out over it. They actually have 5 or 6 shows IIRC, around the west, and a barbed wire forum, and newsletter / magazine that goes out a few times a year to all "Antique Barbed Wire Society" members. I *s-word you not. I need to pay attention to the shows dates for 2024, it's only about an hour from me, I'd like to get rid of the stuff I have and not just take it in for scrap.

I never knew there was such a thing as a barbed wire collector society or show, until I saw in a local paper. I like FFS when I read it.

In case you thought I was being a smart ass, I wasn't this time.

There's mfers who keep chainsaws in their closets like Hannibal Lecter keeps livers in his fridge up in this bish.
The fact that people collect different types of barbed wire is zero surprise.
Now that you mention it, I vaguely recall seeing something about it on TV before.

You mean you don't keep a chainsaw in your closet?

I have zero interest in another hobby. But It's neat in a weird way to me, that people are into it. I'm over hoarding collecting stuff.

They have these wooden plaques of the state the wire came from, with a cutting sampling of the wire and the patent info. I've seen some of these sell on eBay for several hundred or sometimes more, if it has rare wire on it.
