I have been working on my whiskey collection and have now acquired quite a few. I have only two sizes. The half pint and the pint. I have made cases to put them in but I really like them and I think they need to be shown but they don't look good on the shelfs that I have. Please help me! I would like to know what ideas you guys have to display them. Thanks so much, Joey.

here is the half pint to show you the size

Hey Joey,

Man, you are really filling out the old collection. Good work.

With the mix of vertical and horizontal embossing, I thought of a typesetter box setting:

If you cannot find an antique one that fits your needs, you might think about making a similar modern one.

Just my dos centavos, but I always liked the look of small collectibles in the type case setting.

Thanks for the idea Surfaceone. I did think about making some shelves like that but I'm not so sure a typesetter box would have big enough sections for my whiskeys to fit. I do really like that idea and I think I might do that if no one else has any ideas for me. I am definitely going to have to get my dad to help me with this one.[:D] Joey
