Thanks for the info about the different crowns. I'd noticed them on holiday last week but didn't know why they were like that. I'm still waiting for an answer to the question posed in my previous post by the way.

I believe these are Model T axles, used to denote an edge of property, quite common as Model T fords became redundant.

Tags on a utility pole, to denote inspection dates, and Pole #

 

[Drago]

Any dates on the pole to indicate it's age? Some in the village here 80 years old and still looking solid.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Those are burned or carved into the wood. I'll try and get a picture of that bit. I always find the tags interesting.

Many milestones had placenames and distances removed due to the threat of german invasion. Yours might be a replacement.
