$20 yard sale find plus ikea less = awesome display case


Fossil Claw

Recommended Posts

Found the barrister bookcase for $20 at a yard sale a year or two ago.

I moved home home office to a bigger room in the house and have more display room!

My wife is no longer using the bookcase so I took it over and added some ikea LEDs today.

Top shelf is three different kinds if rhino jaws and woolly rhino vertebra.

Middle shelf cave bear jaw, fingers, teeth;tapir jaw and bovine jaw.

Bottom shelf has an 1800s stereoscope.

That is a great bookcase!

It looks fantastic with your collection in it and at $20 sounds like an amazing bargain.

Well done

That's a great looking display Dom! :fistbump:

Thanks.

I will post more pics one I finish setting up my office. Got some book shelves too.

Loving the extra space and more of my collection get to be on display. I will probably fill a full shelf with trades from you.

Should have done this years ago. A good office is key when you work from home.

Inside the 4 riker mounts you can see part of my jcbshark trades collection.

Doors are up just need to stain them and and then put up trim.

The it is time to do some fosil hunting and buying to fill the empty curio cabinet.

Wow, great deal on that bookcase. A friend had some of those and traded them to another friend for fossils after he did some renovations and refurnished his library.

You made a really nice science display with it.
