Collectibles: Stamps, spoons, coins, stickers, etc. Scrapbooking: The shadow box provides an great display case for scrapbook elements of all kinds. Insects: Do you have a butterfly or beetle collection? A shadowbox is perfect for displaying them. Be kind to the wildlife though; a paper or photographic collection can be just as interesting Militaria: Medals, insignia, buckles, awards, badges, etc.
