    The Underwood Vicious looks like a rhino horn emerging from a block of metal. It's two twisted strands are very heavy gauge. It is a massive wire. There are three plates per 18". It was patented in April 1884 by Henry M. Underwood of Kenosha, WI. This is a variation of the patent #297,203.

      Great photo's, I have just found a collection of barb wire I bought about 20 years ago and lost it in my warehouse. I have been trying to identify them using the internet, but the pictures are so bad it's hard t see the detail. Yours are very detailed. Can you tell me the best place to use to identify this collection? Thanks, any advice would be appreciated.
