I'm looking for a display case or maybe 2 for my die cast and models.Does anyone have a good source?A link would be appreciated.
I would prefer a wood and acrylic or all acrylic one but would like to see some other styles.TIA!!!

I tell ya,I`ve had thoughts to start making nice cases.I want to duplicate old store cases big and small.At antique shops the cases are always "not or sale".They are precious to collectors of ..whatever.You don`t see many dealers who wouldn`t sell what they have for the right price.But,not their cases.
I can`t say I have a good source.But,I know the are out there.

I tried finding them and I could not find anything in south florida so my techs had them made for me...Take a look below...

Big Al ,I found some like those online.They even had doors(which I like.less dusting) but for one that holds 21 1:24 it's $95.00 plus shipping and tax.
Nice collection BTW.

Yea did we mention they are proud of there cases too when it comes to buying one!!!

At most of the antique malls around here there`s a dealer (I assume it`s the same person) who`s booth is all collectible/display related stuff.They have all sorts of plastic display cases as well as things from tweezers to magnifying glasses.I wonder what they`re source is.I`m saying it`s out there,just don`t know exactly where to tell you.I can get by one and get their card.I don`t know if they will reveal where to look or keep their secret.Who knows,maybe they are the source.

I guess China hasn`t taken over the case market yet.I never see what I`d consider cheap display cases.Honestly,$100 for one that big doesn`t sound bad.Anything that doesn`t have doors and keep out dust is just a shelf in my book.
