Manufacturer: American antique
Not a big deal but worthy of passing along is neat item for the American West and barb wire enthusiast. This early fencing advertising envelope is imprinted H. B. SCUTT & CO., Limited BARB WIRE MANUFACTURERS, PITTSBURG, P.A. with an image of their factory overlaid by an illustration of their famous product. The holder of ten U. S. patents for varieties of barbed wire fencing, Hiram Scutt’s wire fencing would have a major impact on the early open range method of cattle ranching and shaping of the American West. As a young man Scutt joined the Civil War military when he enlisted on September 16, 1861 as Pvt. Battery G, 2nd Illinois Mounted Artillery. Re-enlisting at the end of his initial term on April 5, 1864 and remained with that unit after the Civil War on September 4, 1865. His earliest patents for barbed wire were taken out in 1867. In pleasing condition with no rips or tears but with some staining and the original postage stamp lifted off this relic of the closing days of open cattle range will lay in nicely in any barb wire or period Western Americana collection. Don't forget to give our search feature a try for special wants. A simple key word in lower case works best. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!!
