I love that display unit. Is that Paul Muchinsky's book that I noticed under the table. I paid more for a copy of that book than most of my pins but it's been a great investment.

Yes, that�s Paul�s book you see. I keep all my reference books on the lower shelf.

The suggestions in this thread have been great. In searching for gem pots and plastic boxes, I found a few other interesting things.

I picked up a set of fairly cheap 3d floating frames like these. They work pretty well.

That's cool. But are the pins pinned

up against the glass? Seems that might not be good for them but I don't know.....

No, there is no glass...just a soft plastic. Think of it like a thicker version of saran wrap that is pre-stretched across each side of the frame. I put the pins on the plastic and then when the frame is closed, the plastic suspends the pins.

They're not very expensive so I didn't expect much. But It gives a pretty cool effect.

OK...So...These sturdy cardboard & glass boxes cost $18.00 in an antique mall in Princeton IL. They were offered in many cup sizes. I believe the renter of the space was...Get ready and hold on...GIZMO. Yep..he of all caps and much anger...the "Old" members may remember him vividly. I think he still runs a hobby shop in IL. and is on facebook or has a website. The cups are removable and stand alone in a display setting. I believe that a poster has shown a smaller model.,,Good product I think.
