Does anyone know where to source 1 0z bar felt display trays?

Hi there,

 

I collect coins and bars and am now at the point with the bars that I want to keep them individually in similar trays to coins but rectangular.  Can anyone point me to somewhere I can source these please?

 

Cheers   DK

Hello,

When I was collecting  1 oz Bars I could not find a purpose made display box, but I eventually bought the following a couple of times from Amazon.

H&S Glass Lid 100 Ring Jewellery Display Storage Box 

They have the disadvantage of having to cut the felt to take the bars, but this is not difficult and enables the cut out  to accommodate slight variations in the size of the bars. The glass lid is a bonus.

Hope this helps.

I like your idea but please avoid felt at all costs. I collect medals and we tend not to use some materials because some tend to be acidic over time and can darken the finish. Remember that the glue might not be archival quality either.

i tend to keep individual items in plastic holders so tht avoids that issue

If you are talking about 1 oz silver bars, I got mine from a company called thecoinsupplystore which is an american brand. The shipping was about 40% of the total price though so you might want to buy a few things there to ease the postage burden if I were you.

Might sound silly but have a walk round somewhere like B&Q. Could find something in the garden or home section that could suit

This kind of thing any use?  It's supposed to be an insert for a box but I can't see why it would not serve a purpose on its own.  If it is perhaps one of our American members would be good enough to ship one over as cheap as possible.

Possible that someone with a 3D printer could make a tray that would be exactly what you're after.

A work colleague of mine printed an insert for a 1/4" drive Snap-On socket set that I needed replacing.
