Other cab displays?

Here's what I like to use. I think they're called Riker Mounts and I get them from an outfit called Smokey Mountain Knifeworks. The one with the red velveteen liner is for Zippo lighter collectors but the separate compartments fit two 30 x40 cabs real well. I think the smaller is for coins and such. They stack well, seem to hold up pretty well and have glass tops. Not very expensive either. This will be my first crack at thumbnails. Hope it works....mel

You may be right about the name Rally. I probably don't have it right. I don't have a current catalog so I couldn't check. I do like they way the ones I use are compartmentalized. The white papers you see behind my stones don't come with the case. I cut these to fit and have identity etc on the back side so I don't forget what things are.....mel

Cool, thanks. I relly like your idea of removable backing doubling as ID tags Mel.

Hey at least if they're all ove the house, they're being seen!

I've been thinking about this. Here are a few ideas:

Glue them all to a sport jacket, covering the whole thing. Keep it hanging in the entry.

Cat-proof your draperies by the above method.

Cut the heads off a bunch of barbie dolls, glue heads to the wainscotting, and glue their hair into individual cab holders in a line all around the room.

Get one of those big purple stuffed Barney things and render it harmless- or at least less malevolenty demonic- by covering every inch with cabs in hot glue.

Cover normally non-decorative surfaces that everyone will see on every visit, such as the toilet tank, with cabs.

Hot glue to angel hair tinsel as Yule tree ornaments.

Sort by color, then fill oddly shaped bottles and jars with them in layers. Top off with olive oil and a hot pepper, and tie a marthastewartish bow 'round. Display anywhere except in kitchen.

In the kitchen, cover the countertop with them, then pour a layer of that clear acrylic they used to make paperweights out of dried bugs and snakes with in the 70's.

Do the above with every other flat surface in the house.

Then make a hobby car covered in cabs. Be sure to use weatherproof cement. And leave a little of the front and rear glass uncovered...

Line the bottom of an aquarium with cabs instead of gravel. Be sure not to use copper based minerals if you plan to keep fish.

Put them into one of those machines that continually rolls them down spirals, lifts them on belts and in cups, drops them down seesaws, etc.

Attach them to masquerade party masks, and make everyone wear them while visiting.

Render a portrait of the US President of your choice, in coprolite cabs.

OK so I wasn't really thinking about it. But it helped pass the time instead of being annoyed that I'm still sitting here waiting for the damn customer to unload their sh-tuff.
