who made that case Kona?
When hubby gets home tonight, we'll get the link posted for everyone!
I'm still waiting on some KC chips from someone (I don't remember from whom) and ATL from imbri in order to get a set out to Nadif.
I have another set of LA chips going out this week to those who PM'd me.

There are several different sizes of shadow boxes that one can purchase from the Container Store, so that's one place people in the U.S. can look ...

Well, my hope was for something chip-specific so I wouldn't have to improvise (the shadow box would require glue or unsightly pins to hold the chips), so that thing the konashark found (in Vegas, go figure) just seems ideal.
The products from the place I linked above is also chip-specific although less elegant. Except those brass display pieces, which are pretty cool. (Full disclosure - the same display items are offered to pog collectors. )

Actually, konashark found the box online (he is a real good online researcher and buyer). Not only is it specific size, each chip is has a special plastic case. I'm thinking this was designed for coin collectors.

Yeah, I am not too worried about regular boxes, as I'd like to also display my piece o' the gun with the chips.
Good point, though!

Kona - that's what I was hoping for, but I hadn't gotten very far when I decided to post about the one site I found and then saw the konashark's offering. The only concern would be about coin/chip size, but it seems he has solved the problem, so we need him to fess up!
And Krystyn - of course with a gun artifact you MUST have a proper shadow box. I forgot about your special extra. But maybe you can find some coin collecting implements that would fit in the box, display your chips and save you from having to glue them to the linen...that's not asking too much, is it?

Nope I've got LA on the way to me from Northwards Manitoba and that will complete everything
I've got extra DC and NYC though if anyone needs them

LA Chips have gone out to:
JTony
OzCatter
HalfBakedBliss
Nos
Stercus Maximus
EGo - did you get your package?
miss_seph - your package will go out next week; I'm waiting for some chips so I can send out Nadif's at the same time (since they are both "international").

I'm getting an LA chip? Yay!
*does a dance of joy*
If anyone needs any New York chips, I have two, maybe three that I can trade for DC, KC, or San Fran or Atlanta. If pressed, I might be able to throw in an open GUN deck. Or even a pic of Billy the Kid's grave! Heh. Still willing to make videos for chips too.
