I've started my collection with a boom (about 50+) And our peg knows where the door is

Accyexplorer's use of the term 'our peg' interests me. I have only heard it used by residents of Preston. It means any female member of the family - wife,. sister, mother so far as I am aware.

If I decide to sell them,I may donate them to a local museum or keep them for my retirement fund
