[meteorite-list] Clear plastic display boxes / try a membrane box

[Dave Myers]

Hello 
Martin and R N Hartman

Sports Memorabilia compaines like Carney Plastics Inc
http://commerce.idmi.net/ecommerce/catalog.asp?CID=123&key=&url=&CI=427

Sell very large, clear plastic cases up to the size to display "basketball, 
football" size item"

I think they also have large wall hanging cases 30"x30" or larger with shelfs.

But there many others on the net, I like there's cause they have a mirro on the 
bottom or you can get them in black. Any case just follow the link ot type in 
Sports memorabilia cases and you will see some cool display cases.

Hello Martin,

Saw your inquiry and I don't know how large your slices are but you might be 
interested in checking out some of our larger size membrane boxes.  Box sizes 
with O.D. up to 150 x 300 mm  for thin slices and 250 x 200 x 200 mm which will 
handle an iron individual up to 3371 g. although I did have a roundish 12 pound 
Canyon Diablo iron  in one until we had an earthquake and it fell off the top 
shelf of a bookcase onto the floor.  For slices, we list recommended max. sizes 
for objects inside the box, but you can push that number if your specimen is for 
display and not a fragile object for transportation, which need the shock 
absorbing engineering of the stretched membrane. The clear membrane suspends the 
specimen inside the box and you can look at it from both front and back at the 
same time.  Our business website lists all the dimensions (O.D. and I.D. of 
boxes) at www.membranebox.com
