Clothes Peg Collections

Apparently your information is slightly out of date ... when you said
"Pegs are collector's items. Yes, it's true; people collect clothes pegs. Their proud owners have displayed collections of more than 300. One of the most sought-after types are the gypsy pegs made in the early 20th Century."
I appeared on the "Collectors Lot" TV program in the year 2000 with about 300 pegs, but I have to tell you that I now have over 1500 different clothes pegs and my collection is growing at the rate of over 100 a year. In 2007 I shall be featured on the ABC TV program "Collectors" in Australia with just a few of my pegs. And yes, one of my favourites is a real live gypsy peg. Not the most sought after though ... the Clark Rubber Peg was much harder to locate and I understand there was an enamel peg too and I haven't got one of those yet ......
look at www.peglomania.blogspot.com to see a few different designs.
