Was today barbed wire day?
Checking
NO
No — I found no barbed wire observance on October 28; the famous barbed wire patent anniversary falls on November 24.
Why
- Joseph Glidden received the barbed wire patent on November 24, 1874
- Barbed wire's commercially successful patent is commemorated in late November
- Barbed Wire Sunday (1961 Berlin) is a separate, unrelated event
