WHEATIES BOX DISPLAYS
by John Johnson
Here is some information on the Wheaties box displays. They
are made of oak, with plexiglass fronts and backs, in various
sizes to accommodate the 3 basic sizes of Wheaties boxes, but
also to hold multiple boxes. This is particularly useful when
there are a series of Wheaties boxes, such as the Olympics or
Dale Earnhardt boxes, allowing all of the boxes to be in the same
display. The multiple box display can also be used to hold
similar Wheaties boxes, but from different years, like the Super
Bowl Champs, or World Series Champs, etc.
John has decided to make these displays available to other
Wheaties collectors. He is selling them, see table below, or will
trade for older Wheaties boxes.
From what I have been able to find on the web, these displays are
less expensive than the all acrylic boxes, and I believe look
very attractive. They allow us to display our boxes, while at the
same time, protecting them so they don't get creased or crushed.
Each finished display will be stained, with polyurethane varnish
applied. The displays assemble and disassemble easily without
tools and are very sturdy.
