50 Pen Display Case

[johntdavis]

Hello,

 

I'm looking for a solid, weighty, and durable 50 pen drawer-style case. I've already got one of these, but I purchased it years ago, and I can't find the manufacturer anymore. (It was a fellow in the UK).

 

Here's an example of the form factor I'm interested in--though I don't necessarily need or want the top-opening open-glass display.

The price for these is, of course, way beyond what I'm willing to pay. I'm guessing the wood used for these has become scarce, and or they are handmade and finished/stained.

 

Any suggestions for this form factor/approximate capacity in the sub-$200 price range? I don't really want to have to cut up my own pen trays and assemble something.

 

I'm also not particularly attached to wood, if going with something else would lower the price. I just want to make sure it looks nice and won't disintegrate in six months. The case I already have is rock-solid and has already survived years and at least one move.

 

Thanks!

hmm, there's some sub $100 cases that size on ebay. They will be lacking in the durability department, probably not real wood either. Artist Supply drawers would require you to cut your own trays, and they may be too short. A small wooden tool chest perhaps? You would still need to cut your own trays. But easy to move and lock if you get one with a front panel.

For STORAGE, a watchmaker cabinet, dentist cabinet, tobacco cabinet, utility cabinet, etc. anything with shallow height drawers and depth of 7-8 inches could be re-purposed.

For DISPLAY, I suggest very large shadow box(es).
