    That is awesome. Feels like you are actually in the cathedral. Well done!

    Great display - isn't it great to have a raw collection to be able to pick up and study?

    I'll always love these medal types with the interior and exterior views. My first job at 16 was at the Washington Cathedral. I had no end to perspectives on the details of the building and grounds but first sight and first entry were the most awesome. Beautiful collection!image

    Those are 3 and 4 inch tall plastic and wooden easels. I got them at my local art supply store. They are hinged, so I use a small dab of epoxy glue on the hinge to set them at the correct width. If you don't do that, the hinge can move and they can drop the medal. I got the idea from my local coin shop.
    The cabinet is a Stickley 89-0134 corner cabinet

    I love the display, but I have to ask... When the medals get dusty, how do you clean them?

    The inside of that cabinet does not seem to accumulate dust, so it's never come to that. I'd probably just try to blow it away with a can of compressed air. But I see no dust, even on that glass shelf where it would be very visible.

    The medals didn't exactly come dust-free either; you can see specs in my photos.
