N.O.S. Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 These turn up occasionally in twos or fours, but look what ambushed me today! Would these be of WW1 origin or where they made later too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Where on earth did you find those? There were replicas at W&P for about £5 to £10 each. You have just found a gold mine - assuming you can find lots of willing customers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'll see what can be done - think they should be saved as a first move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Used originally in Great War, still going I think. You used to be able to buy them by the trailer load for tempoary fencing in paddocks. They were used in the Second World War, a number of pictures of frtifications in Jersey and Gurnersey show fences on silent pickets. A lot of framers used them up to the late 1960's in the Island before that new fangles Electric fencing stuff. Mind you the wire was diffrent from commercial type. About 1/2 inch barbs set about 1/4 inch apart. Nasty stuff to handle even with thick rawhide mitts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
