General View of the Show.

Nice collection of Barbed Wires. Note the horseshoe cowboy with barbed wire lassoo.
Close up of a "shortie" collection.

Wires for sale, mounted on white-faced board, and with identification details on the labels.

Interesting display in wooden case with sack-cloth backing.

Wires lined up on a table.

Interesting collection of splices.

Another collection of "shorties" in a wooden case with leather strips holding the wires.

More wires for sale.

Incredible home-made carriage-wheel revolving display. The whole thing disassembles for transit.
