Vacuum Tube Display Case

I'm new to vacuum tubes and have accumulated a few dozen that are sitting in a cardboard box wrapped in packing material.

I'd rather put them into some sort of display case, maybe like the shallow, foam backed glass cases I have seen to display collectible coins or arrowheads, with labels. Seems like it would make an interesting conversation piece. At least to me, a budding tubophile.

Anyone have any suggestions, including sticking with the cardboard box?

It might be worthwhile emailing one of the officers of the Tube Collectors Association and asking their advice, and if they can point you to a supplier of suitable mounting bases and/or display cases.

For storage, as opposed to display, you can find suitable egg-crate tube boxes at Antique Electronic Supply. Click on "vacuum tube accessories" in the menu at the left, and then on "boxes and crating."

If you contact one of the Tube Collectors Association people, let us know what they have to say!
