Barb,
Welcome to the Forum.
Your objective of labeling your items to help other people understand what they are for is indeed quite interesting.
It's gonna be difficult for me to explain this in English, but I'll try.
Here is what I suggest (based on what I intend to do one of these days):
1- Read carefully the thread Marc mentions on the previous post.
2- I encourage you to get those Display Cases from Indian River mentioned on that thread, or any other kind of Display Case that will allow you to store and at the same time see and enjoy your collection.
3- Display your Badges as you like.
4- When your Display will be complete, on a sheet of paper, list by order (1st row, 2nd row, etc) each one of your Badges that you can identify as Item A, Item B (from left to right or right to left, etc) and then for each item write it's name and whatever information you may wish to supply.
The result is that when someone looks at your Display with that sheet of paper with the description of each item on hands, every single item will be easily identifiable, with all the info you'll supply. See what I mean?
I hope it can help.
Simon,
So far I haven't had no problems with the way I keep my collection so I guess those materials used are ok. Walnut, glass, foam, apparently nothing wrong with these!
I know there is another member/Moderator of the Forum who has been using the same Display Cases I use for much longer than I do and as far as I know he never had a problem either, right Dave?
Best,
Dolf
