1. A system, comprising:

  • a display peg comprising a first electrically conductive terminal and a second electrically conductive terminal;

    an object comprising a resistive element having a pre selected resistance, the resistive element in electrical communication with the first electrically conductive terminal and the second electrically conductive terminal when the object is hung from the display peg;

    a source configured to provide a current that flows from the first electrically conductive terminal through the resistive element to the second electrically conductive terminal; and

    an electronic device configured to detect the current flowing from the second electrically conductive terminal,wherein the system is configured to identify a type of the object depending on the pre-selected resistance of the resistive element.
