The first installation in a three-part series detailing the history of Bathey Manufacturing Company's T-Iron property markers.
Large stones were first used to mark boundaries. As centuries passed, wood posts came to be used as markers. The refuse of daily life was also used-broken brick, charcoal, fragments of glass, pottery, broken stones and the like. This material would be placed in a post hole two to three feet deep to mark a corner. This practice continued well into the 19th-century.
