Cris Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Alright guys.... Getting tired of having everything in jars and plastic bags...Does anyone have a good source for riker display cases? I've seen different websites that have them at different prices...What's the best you've found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I haven't shopped around much, but check out Ward's Natural Science: http://wardsci.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_IG00..._E_Riker+Mounts "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

ashcraft Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Try e-bay, I was looking for some awhile back, and they seemed to be cheaper there, as I didn't order any I don't know about the quality. Make sure you look at depth, they come in several. Brent Ashcraft ashcraft, brent allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 http://www.rikermounts.com I got some from this place, the prices and quality were pretty good. The cheapest I've ever found was they guy selling them in the parking lot at Aurora. If you believe everything you read, perhaps it's time for you to stop reading...

THobern Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 This eBay seller is fairly cheap, and has a very wide selection. I'm not endorsing him, he's just the best I've found so far. http://myworld.ebay.com/rikerseller/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricFlorida Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Rikers are cheap looking and fall apart easily. Go with wooden cases. A quality fossil deserves a quality display case. www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Rikers are cheap looking and fall apart easily. Go with wooden cases. A quality fossil deserves a quality display case. I plan on nice wooden ones eventually.. Any suggestions of where to get those? I was wanting rikers just for educational displays with more common fossils. Thanks for all the links, guys! Way better prices than the place I was looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I plan on nice wooden ones eventually.. Any suggestions of where to get those? I bought 2 of these to display jewelry at my shop; great quality/well made. They have other sizes and woods, too. http://cgi.ebay.com/OAK-Display-Case-Knife...1742.m153.l1262 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Ramo Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Here are a couple of my displays of some of my very first teeth I ever collected. They are in shadow box picture frames. I used hot glue on the enamel part of the tooth to hold them in place. That probably isn't the best thing to use, but it seems to peel off the teeth if I want to remove them. I thought about re-doing them, but they have a little sentimental value to me. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
