No I'm not.

Where did what come from? "peeps"? I'm not sure. It's been short for "people" quite a while

The lock is stamped TOWER 1855, that's the only date on it, unfortunately. Of course, that doesn't mean that was when the baarrel was made. But I doubt it's far off from that date.

Never knowingly seen or heard it used before, to me peeps is the plural of peep which is to look quickly at something someone usually through an opening of some kind.

BTW why didn't you just say people or don't you use that word any more, have you replaced it with "peeps" in your lexicon?
