Whats the best way to display my vintage gumball charms?
I don’t think there is a best way for everyone. But there does seem to be a handful of way that collectors enjoy displaying their collections, myself included. One of the most outstanding collectors I know has part of his collection displayed in machines inside of their original capsules and the rest of his collection on plastic bins with drawers. People with small collections seem to still enjoy storing them in craft type boxes with snap tite lids. Another way is to display your favorite charms in glass frames on the wall. One of my best friends keeps all of his charms in a genuine crane machine that he originally won his charms out of! But hey even a big glass jar might work for you. Yet another way that some collectors display their vintage gumball machine charms is inside “thimble display cases.” The funny thing is that you might end up trying many different ways of displaying your charms until you either give up or find a method that seems to work for you.
