I keep my eye out at thrift stores for these glass shallow cases but always thought putting up a framed picture type display would be cool.
What's your oldest one?

Nice display, Nick. I'm old enough to remember using paper shotshells.

dts I find some still with a lot of colored paper sometimes. Crazy to think the wax helps that paper for so many winters. Oldest ones I have are the top right corner Eley Bros with raised letters. 1861 to 1874
