Jacob Haish produced several of the following
canes,
probably as promotional items. However, it is not known for
sure how they were distributed. It is possible that Haish
gave a special cane to people who placed large orders of his
barbed wire. However, you will see some variations
which name a particular sales agent such as J.D. Seeberger with cane #5. Some variations acknowledge
other people's wire variations, which Haish must have been involved
with like cane #6 with Sidney Steven's "X" four point barb. Haish probably owned a stake in or had some business arrangement with Mr. Stevens' wire patent.

6.) | This cane example has Sidney M. Stevens barbed wire patent with a traditional Haish "S Barb" medallion on the top. Sidney Stevens of DeKalb, Illinois patented his "X" four point wire on December 16, 1879 with patent #222,747. In one of Jacob Haish's very early advertisments he was marketing a barbed wire brand called "Stevens' Lock Stitch". It is not known to date what exact business arrangement Mr. Stevens had with Jacob Haish, but some relation must have occured. |
