lstmmrbls Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Been searching for years for the perfect display case. Lucked out big time today when I found this in a local Antique store. Each drawer even has a glass front with area behind the glass to put marbles! Can't wait to get to cleaning and fixing it up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm more jealous of that than I am of all your CACs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Marbles Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 It is an antique spool thread cabinet used in stores. It is a nice one at that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Here's a couple on Ebay. They're a bit pricey though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tall-19-drawer-oak-Corticelli-spool-cabinet-SUPER-14645-/201010750052?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ecd2ca264 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Corticelli-14-Drawer-Store-Display-Spool-Cabinet-/121245821349?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c3ad069a5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacyw Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Congrats on that find Galen! My friends and I are always on the lookout for those spool cabinets to display our sewing smalls and that one is stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 The base even has a drawer(missing knobs) which will be perfect for the game marble boxes. It cost less than the last nice striped transparent I bought from Dani! The white strips are cardboard someone has inserted. They fit on top of a row of dowels. I will try and find some velvet or felt to replace the cardboard strips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Here's a 22-drawer one, looks to be in great shape. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-M-Heminway-Sons-22-Drawer-Tall-Spool-Cabinet-Country-General-Store-/121261925251?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c3bc62383 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I have an antique print tray found in an antiques shop that held many marbles. I set it on top of a cabinet I was using for marble photography supplies and always meant to get a plexiglass top made for it. Now that I've sold most of the marbles it held, I'll be putting it out in a garage sale. Finding the perfect display case for marbles is a lucky thing indeed.
