Display Boxes

I'm looking at getting some riker type boxes to display some of my smaller fossils. I've looked for the riker boxes online but shipping to England is expensive.

As i've never had one before would this alternative do the trick?

If not would love if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks

I got these cases from the world famous auction site and got mine from America. I personally don’t think they were that expensive all things considered. Happy to send you a link via message if you require.

Riker boxes differ from the shadowbox you illustrated; in that they employ thick cotton wool (synthetic nowadays) that presses small objects against the glass. In that manner they are held secure. The shadow box you show would require the pieces to be affixed in some manner, if it were to be displayed upright.

Please avoid posting direct advertisements on the Forum. 

Photos of items are fine, but there should be links for retailers (non fossil selling related) websites.
