Display cases

[kissakai]

Hi

I couldn't find the original post where someone suggested these 'see through' display cases

I ordered one as the total price was only £2.46, that's cheap and only took a week or so to be delivered

I bought the 90 x 90 size this will hold a 70mm dia tsuba

 

What I didn't realise that it is ideal for my menuki

It will also take a fuchi/kashira set but that pushing the clear film (it is sandwiched between two sheets)

 

  

 

I'd be interested in your views bearing in mind I wouldn't use it for something precious and I use antique wax as a coating for most of my items

I like that! was a bit worried on film composition till the end I read you wax the items, and if not too precious a good idea!

I am glad someone has tried these cases out, since my post back on the 12th April. As I said at the time I have had several items displayed for about 4-5 years with no damage. I don't collect Fuchi/kashira but they look good displayed this way and you get a full view both sides - next step they need to come up with a magnifying screen for the smaller items

They do slightly larger cases than the 90 x 90, and shop around as these sites can vary in price week by week.

I really like the look of these. Is the plastic very flexible and how much does it "wrap around" the items?
 

[kissakai]

The plastic is very flexible

Think how much it had to stretch when holding the F/K set and the case has to 'clip' and close

[Ken-Hawaii]

I agree, Briaan. Very flexible, & unlikely to tear. The only thing you need to be careful of is size.

 

The one I bought for my tsuba is too small, & the one for my kozuka is too large - my problem, not theirs.

 

I'm buying more of them, as I like the way they look.
