I recently purchased a S110 pillowcase & was hoping that someone could tell me the best way to preserve/display it? Any thoughts appreciated. Jeremy

Which one is it? I would have it professionally framed.

They are beautiful and should be framed. Have a professional do it since fabric demands a special technique.

By the way, I've seen many with O'Toole but only one or two with Johnson. It must be considerably rarer.

All the advice says to have it professionally done. I was hoping for a less expensive way to do it. I guess they don't make 24X24 mylar sheets

That's a pretty high dollar item....I would think you would want to make sure it is properly framed and displayed.

a 2000.00+ item depending on condition. I'd say the one with 5 HOF's about 1 in 5 rarer in marketplace - that of course doesn't take into account a few factors - among which might be that the one with Johnson might be more popular and therefore less frequently traded. I'd say about 30-50 % premium on that one. The care of 100 year old satin and all fabrics for that matter are best preserved by a professional. If the lack of aesthetics or cost are factors I think there would be nothing wrong with the mylar/lucite type thing. They do make large top-loaders that exceed those dimensions and sometimes in fabric or craft stores you can get a pair of sheets and a binder in that size or larger. I don't think that in the SHORT-MEDIUM term you will hurt the piece as long as you keep it out of direct or florescent light. Just MO - no guarantees written or implied

Here is mine, with O'Toole also. Get it professionally framed for best care.

After seeing Joe's framed piece, I've made up my mind.
