Display Case Ideas
Hey Everyone,
I need some ideas on a display case or or just a display for my Hesston Belt Buckles.
http://www.bucklesofestes.com/hesston_belt_buckles.htm
I have the whole collection (32) dating back to 1974 and intend on continuing collecting future Hesston buckles.
I also some unique buckles (about 25) Ie: like one from Indiannapolis Speedway
I have thought of the curio cabinet type (a wooden segmented box) to hang on the wall but because I have so many that isn't feasible.
I have also thought about a Revolving plexiglass case like to see in the on the counter in the jewelery dept of stores.
Any other ideas on how to display them

How accessible do you want these buckles to be? Do you wear them?
I like the idea of the plexiglass case; another thing that comes to mind would be a coffee table with a glass lid that would display some/all of them. I'm not sure how large it would have to be to hold all of them, but in combination with a wall unit, it could work...

I'm thinkin something like a vertical rod with a stack of independently rotating elements the rough dimentions of a bicycle rim. Maybe wrought iron hoops or some kinda 'frozen rope' with one two spokes. Use a leather belt variation that will accomodate many buckles all the way around each hoop. Add hoops as needed. Motorize for extra credit.
