Althor seems cheaper! I used to buy from Arizona Mineral Company, but they don't carry display boxes anymore. I'm going to contact Althor.

Regardig H-40DR, I have bought this product from Althor, from whom I get most of my Perky Boxes and recommend highly! Just an FYI that the black base for this model is fairly high - 1 inch in height base, and 1 inch clear top. Most perky box sizes do also have a smaller base to top height ratio available, but this is not one of them (although perhaps if enough of us asked ??) It works well for pieces with thick matrix or those which can be arranged so that the best viewing angle is to the top side.
Best,
Stephan

Can anyone refer me to a company and or web site in the USA that would offer 3 inch cubed perky style boxes made of plastic?
Thank you,

Can somebody who buys from Althor provide me with the model number for the "standard" 'Perky' thumbnail size boxes please? Of course I am looking for the box that has the smaller base to height ratio, the standard, 'official sized' boxes. :)
Thank you very much.

I actually have a few boxes from Shannon and Sons, and a few from Althor. Although the dimensions are the same on print, the Althor boxes interior dimensions are wider by about 1/64th of an inch. Placing labels in the Althor boxes actually fit better, and do not need to be bent backwards a bunch of times. I can tell dealers who use the other boxes, because their labels are always cut smaller, and a bit uneven to make up for the difference in interior space.
And it is my experience that the hinge mechanism and the tightness of the closed box bodes better for Althor. Not to mention the fact that they are located in CT, which is a stone's throw from where I am in Manhattan compared to AZ. :)
I plan on buying over a thousand anyhow. But thanks for the information.

When a person joins the site to make one single post to the forums, and that post is a commercial recommendation for a supplier complete with telephone numbers and URLs I have to treat it as a spam message and remove it even if the intent of the message was entirely honorable.
If a regular member who has a large number of posts to their name posts exactly the same message it would be treated differently.

This should give you the widest selection of what you are looking for.

> Jonelle - those are not the "classic" Perky boxes.
I ran across this thread while trying to find out just what a Perky Box actually is. Was that an actual brand name, not the style itself? I never did find much more info online. In fact, I can NEVER find info online for ANYTHING, it seems! :-X I guess I am just not "mainstream" enough :-D
