Those darned things, we had them here, when this place was where the horses were when I was a kid late 60's early 70's, I certainly recall those, they used porcelain insulators and that tough wire, still find coils of it discarded here and there, don't rust, makes nice tie wire and does wrap around a brush hog shaft or mower mandrel nicely. If'n I'm thinking it's the same set up, I remember the unit hanging in the barn, orange indicator lights on it, I remember somehow crossing the lower and upper wires at a place where the fence changed direction, brave little sh$t I was foolin with that fence, it tossed me on my behind. They used to be common, was one near the little league field, people would duck into the hedgerow and water the bushes, heard of a few finding that fence too ! Vaguely remember how strong they were, unlike that modern stuff we have at the farm now, stranded whatever it is type wire yellow and black, just gives a little snap, can hear it in the rain, don't spook em like the old ones, seems to work much better as they will come over to the fence.
