This is a used sample of antique barbed wire fencing. This sample features a William Watkins patent, dated November 21, 1876. This wire is called "Watkin's Sheet Metal Lazy H-Plate Barb, by collectors. (ref Hagemeier 711-B). - This wire features two twisted together round line wires. Barbs are four pointed made from sheet metal. Sheet metal is cut into arrowhead shapes, and then pointed end is split. Both ends have an open space at barb crotch.
