Glass lid display cases

Does anyone know where to find wooden coin display cases with glass lids, so you can view your coins without having to leave it open and attract cat hair and dust and other such nastys? I can't seem to find any, even on ebay!

amazon has some for jewelry and you could probably cut out a velvet trey to fit in it

I knew I saw this somewhere.  It was on Forum.

Note they also sell separately trays that fit the cases.  I have not seen one in person.

They exist.  My dad bought me a small glass lid one (covering maybe 12 or 15 coins.) when I was a teenager. However, it was from the local, defunct, coin shop.  I don't think it has a maker's mark.

The same dealer was also kind enough to give me a few felt dealer's trays around the same time.  I use them for my junk box coins, using one of the trays flipped over as a dust lid.

I use flips on all my other coins, preferably like the ones Forum uses.

Flipping an empty tray bottoms-up would be an easy,  low-tech solution to the problem.
