Axminster Display Case

[Vic Perrin]

I brought a couple of the Axminster 30 Pen Display Cases. At £13.50 I think they are a decent buy

I use these Vic real leather hold 48 pens 48 Fountain Pen Leather Case Black Color Pouch for 48 Pen Lots Pen Case Bag | eBay

I think they are ok I bought a couple recently.

 

[Terry]

Look good Vic and the pens and photography are not bad for an amateur !!!! lol

 

[Phil Dart]

Looks nice. Is there enough space to fit a button click sierra Vic?

 

[Baldy]

I was actually looking at both options. . Interested to hear others thoughts

Heaps of oportunities cant tell whats inside Woodies buy but both seem ok. Some times Vics purchase has strange chemicals that can effect the plating and the small bands can mark the pens mostly safe when you close this one of Vics it looks like there is enough clearance between pens and if so it gives a beaut impression when open. To discourage fumbling fingers from Joe or Joan public is fun when selling from them. The open plastic racks are easier to see if one is missing. Just some observations.

I got one from Vince and he's a bit expensive, the second one I got from axminster last year and now they've gone up this year but they are good. I was going to get 2 or 3 more and fill each side with one type of pen

Couldn't say Phil, that's a pen that I have not done.

I have one of these not bad for the price.

 

[Lons]

I have 2 of the 30 size and 1 of the 48, (48s only suitable for slimlines really). I find them ok but be careful of the carry handles as they're held on by very small screws and not all that secure IMO

Have you seen/made an Empress pen? They fit in the case and its damned big pen. I've not seen a click Sierra. How do they compare to bolt actions? They fit fine too. Hope that helps

 

[chas_41_uk]

I have one of these cases as well very good value for money compared to some cases

Phil the sierra click is a touch too long to sit neatly. About 5mm ends up resting on the padding

Yes, they are a great buy and look so much better than the page type cases.

They measure 146mm end to end, and its the longest kit I've come across, so if it'll take that it'll take anything. I've always avoided these cases because I've read they come up a bit short, but I may be confusing it with a different one, so I'd be really interested to know.

I have the folder ones like Woody has. I store my pens in the cases and put them out on stands when I go to shows. The others you could simply turn up and open the case on a stand I guess. Both are good

That what I have done.

 

[Vic Perrin]

Phil, I have measured the case and the internal width available for pens is 140 mm. I have heard of this problem before of other members in relation to larger pens. In looking at the construction of the box it would be quite easy to modify and gain the 6 mm required for the larger pen

Nope, your right Phil, they don't fit the longer pens, and after a while the elastic gets slack and as you fold them closed the pens slide down and obstruct the hinges when you go to close them. I've got six, on a couple the plastic trays have come out despite my best endeavours to glue them back in, the elastic has stretched on all and they're not quite long enough. Having said that I've given them a real hammering but they only lasted a year and a half.

 

[Vic Perrin]

I can see where Neil is coming from with regards to the strenght of the boxes. As he rightfully said they won't take that much of a hammering! But concidering that Neil managed to get 18 months out of them doing the amount of fairs etc that he does I think mine should be good for at least the next 10 years or so !
