I'm not a plug "collector" as such but am always fascinated by the unusual, like the low-profile "Legrand/BICC" types and the pastel-blue 'Rock' plug I mentioned on this forum a while back.

And the range of unusual coaxial connectors always fascinates me - WWII-era Pye-plugs, strange Western-Electric and General-Radio "Hermaphrodite" types used on test-gear and early multiplexed phone-circuits, and MUSA connectors.... or the little-documented "Pattern 12" UK connector that was used in the 1950s in a bunch of RACAL gear.
