Interesting style of ribbon bar.

[Bob Hunter]

I have found the overlapping style of ribbon bar to be interesting and not frequently encountered. Is there a reason for that? Did the style fall from favor or did it just not gain wide acceptance?

since I ran out of space for two pictures on one post, here is the flip side.

Might have been a cheap person's way to cram an extra ribbon on a bar that was originally designed to have one fewer ribbons on it.

Hi Bob,

overlapping ribbon bar style was typical for austrin bars.... I have seen it often on austrian ribbon bars and even if yours is not total austrian there is one on it...

This bar is not really overlapped, per se... more of a very complicated folding that I have only seen a couple of times..

Hi,

First time I see a ribbon bar like this one. Interresting indeed.

Folded or overlapped there is no consistent pattern to the bar. Strange.

Well there's at least one other out there....... somebody posted a similar one when this first came up over at one of the "Other Forum" sites.
