1930’s Gate Latch
Do you remember gates like this? The main frame was steel pipe that supported a wire mesh like the two strands shown above. The latch was simple, but effective.
I don’t know the origin of this kind of latch, but it was still being used on “modern” chain link fencing in the 1950’s.
Thought for the Day: Love your neighbor as yourself but don’t take down your fence.
