Show HOW you display your relics?

[Georgia Teat]

OK, what I'm wondering is if there is a place on this web site, to give folk (within this hobby of relic collecting) different ideas everyone involved has come up with on how they display their relics?

Box frames, glass display cases...just a place to show pictures on how to display your relics, and trade ideas on how different things can be done for the display. I'd bet that it's an art in and of itself!
Just wonderin...

Georgia Teat,

Here are a couple of threads from the forum where people posted photos of their displays. Have fun.

Wow!

These display rooms are better than some I've seen in museums!

Being new to this bulletin board, I have not been able to take the time to look over everything, so your posting is a big help.

Now, do you know of a section where there is help, and idea's passed around among the collectors on how to display? I have a 5X7 shadow frame that has an original .69 Cal B-n-B in it, and a reproduction live round (showing what it looked like in cartridge form) to go with it for a belated Christmas gift to a friend of mine, I'll get it scanned and see if I can post what it looks like on here, and maybe someone can give me other ideas... :wink:

I built this heavy duty set of shelves a few years ago. Been working on another set, but it is even more of a mess than these are right now.

The second picture is of an old standby for displaying bullets -- the printer's type tray. They can be picked up for $15 plus or minus in any antique mall.
