Thanks for the info Ken --that is a thorough intro to pegging that many will find quite helpful. Perhaps when we can add topics to TFwiki that could serve as a start on a peg entry?

You mentioned Mr. McCurdy's bag of odd pegs -- I infer that there is quite a wide variety in types and shapes? Is there one type that is seen more than others? Is there any consistency across regions or time frames or does it seem to be locally and date specific? (or random?)
