Fence-Post.
Description:
Patent for "improvements in fence or other posts and bases thereof, and especially telegraph and telephone posts" (lines 13-15).

It claims further benefits, such as "preventing early decay" (lines 22-23) allowing "perfect drainage" (lines 25-26), and facilitating the re-use of old posts.
