My Way to Display
I like to display my cans in display cases and recently I found two cases on the “Let Go” Appfor a wopping $50. When I went to pick them Up I could only get one in my truck and they were missing the shelves. Little elbow grease and 4 shelves later a total of $75 for a new display case.
Interested in all flat and Cone Soda and Water cans.

Re: My Way to Display
I found 2 large bulletin boards in a thrift shop that came out of our local Bowling Alley for $40 each. I started by stripping out all the corkboard and crap. I then added back glass, made side and center pieces using peg board as a template, had glass shelves made and finally put lights in them. I was extremely pleased how they came out and are a perfect depth for Quart Cones!

Re: My Way to Display
Nice work guys! I really like the glass curio cabinets mixed in with more traditional shelves in a can room. Just seems to add an extra element of dimension, depth and display contrast.
I picked this one up last Spring at Ikea. My wife and I had never been to an Ikea. They built one in our area and after months and months of Police directed craziness with the traffic getting in/out, we decided to check it out. Spent like 4 hours there the 1st day, including lunch in their cafeteria. Fascinating concept in retail BTW. Anyway, came across the cabinet below and absolutely knew I had to buy it the minute I saw it. Love the 1940's-ish retro look. Perfect for some random low pro's. Even came with a lock. While I didn't have to rebuild it like the two above, I did have to put it together. LOL!!

Man I'm not sure what's nicer. The case or the cans! Thanks for sharing

Re: My Way to Display
Not sure if those shelves are adjustable or not but looks like you could get 1 or maybe 2 more in there....
