I currently do not have a good place to display my relics so I want them kept safe until I do.

I use this to store them in and figured i'd post it since I can't get out hunting today....

I just got done unloading two new glass display cases. I happened across a store going out of business and picked them up for 150 total! Unfortunately I unloaded them into my storage unit... I'm not moving into my new place until the 15th.

Until then my relics are in a cardboard box... Not nearly as cool as your ammo crate! Excellent buy, I like it a lot!
 
Super nice setup dude. I've got a large display case for most of my good pieces. Just ran lights all in it. I also use those tackle boxes for extra items that I want to keep organized by site.
 
Love that ammo crate by the way. Could you imaging how much it would cost today if you were to buy 1640 5.56 rounds??? Dang!!!

Cool i'd like to see a picture of that lit case with your finds to see how it looks!
 
Very cool , I also have my CW finds in two large show cases and a early 1900's corner cabinet . And also use an old printers drawer to set minies in that I hung on the wall . Works well
 
Hey buddy

Awesome displays. I'd like to get an old Linotype drawer to hang on the wall. My cousin has one just like it for his Minies. My mom worked at a newspaper for 20+ yrs that was around since the early 1900s. They still had all the original equipment. I remember playing on those old machines when I was a kid. Those drawers would hold all the metal printing transfer blocks and stamps, letters and numbers mostly.
