Display cases for points

[weathermantrey]

Does anybody know where I can buy a quality display frame for arrowheads? I’m looking for a case I can hang on the wall while the stuffing inside the frame holds the points in place against the glass.

I do not want a frame where you have to glue/velcro the points to the display.

I would like to have one frame with a black background for my quartz points, and another frame with a white background for my darker colored chert points.


Thanks!

Most of the time you can find them at arrowhead shows, Troy
Futral was selling them at the Abbeville show a couple of months ago. That is the best way to get them, so you don't have to pay shipping. They don't have wall hanging brackets on them but you could add some. If you call him he will be glad to ship you two or tell you when another show will be close to you.

What do you recommend to use to adhere arrowheads to a display ? I have used glue gun in past but I want to make sure that I do not damage any I make in the future . My fiancé has an amazing collection I want to display . All ideas welcomed because some are very large

In cases like these, you don`t use any adhesives. The points are pressed between the foam and glass. I would never put adhesives f any kind on artifacts.

The person that made the cases Troy sold is out of business so Troy is no longer selling cases

I think Doug Puckett used to make the frames Troy sold. I haven't seen Doug in years. Wonder if he's still collecting?

Love this type frame, Shut the lid and it pushes the points against a foam backing, holds them in place very well. I like to put a stretchable fabric on top of the foam to keep the points off the foam. Some foam has an acid in it.

Doug made many of the frames I use. I've also had a cabinet maker build some 17.50 inch square frames for my larger stuff, and paleo.
