Terry,

    There is a nice line of basic plexiglas plate holders through the
Art Display Essentials company out of Blairstown NJ. You can reach them
and peruse the catalog at www.artessentials.com. The holders come in a
series of sizes with designs for deck or wall mounting. I have found the
wall mount style especially useful as they grip the plate at top and
bottom and are sturdy enough to hold the plate securely. Another benefit
of the plex is that they can be modified to match an especially deep or
odd shaped plate with a heat gun. I used one to mount a fine Mayan plate
with excellent results. Please let me know if I can be of further
assistance.

Subject: Seeking information on plate holders for exhibition.

Hello Fellow Museum Lers

In May our gallery will present an exhibition of collectors plates from
a
private collection. We wish to install these objects on the wall. We are

seeking suggestions on hanging devices for the plates.

Please reply to my address only and thank you in advance for your
assistance.

Without art we would just be monkeys with car keys.
