Recommendation for Pen Display Box?

Anyone have a good recommendation for a Pen Box/Case? Pics would be great too. Cheers everyone.

I got several Montblanc store display cases like this. MB doesn't sell them per se but they are occasionally available on ebay.

I have several pen cases, but my favorites are the ones I got from Richard Binder made from cigar boxes.

1 more vote for the CB's.

Or just get one of these.

It is really astonishing that from all the pens in your display the Edson stands out the most.

I have a 24-slot Visconti pen-chest. I'm hoping, soon, to create a 60-80 slot pen-chest out of an old silverware chest.

Like yankeefist, I am partial to Venlo's boxes. After some trial and error, the ten-pen box I use is the Venlo 10-pen leather case:



The case needs dusting so let's lift the lid:



It feels substantial. It is leather-wrapped with a thick glass.

Now for the pens I use daily, nothing beats a pen stand for easy access:





If I am going to travel with more than one pen at a time, I like the Venlo five-pen case:

Thanks. The company's web site is: http://venlocompany.com/

My local brick and mortar pen store carries their products and they have special ordered cases for me.

I have a Venlo and two Visconti pen cases. The Venlo is from Worldlux. The Visconti's are from Swisher pens.

Cheers
