well my grandmother had a huge set of it and whenever any of the children got married and left home she gave them some of it, there were 9 kids so it got split up pretty good, so i've been going to any auctions of their personal property that they have whenever any of them pass away and buying back what they had, plus i had an aunt who gave me hers, i have also bought several pieces from antique sales and stuff, so i've got somewhere around 20 pieces so far, not a big collection yet.
