Perfect for display and protection of a item of clothing that has value or is unique/special in some way, e.g historical or sentimental. We had an autographed rugby shirt in it but the shirt has gone with our son and we no longer need the display case.
Size 82 cm H x 58 cm W x 5.5cm D
I can't find a NZ supplier online so for something similar see www.luminati.co.uk...

As new condition with key to lock the case. No marks of scratches. Due to size and difficulty to package safely, I would prefer pick up from Paremata, Porirua. Open to near offers.

Price: $120
