How should the Bacheler Civil War coat be displayed? (All options at GHS on the conservator's form; we have the money for the restoration.)

Option 1 (cheapest option): goes in the case at the high school. Will need mirror installed behind the coat; may need lighting update (fluorescent lights can damage textiles); needs shelf help. https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/case-in-ghs-option-1-2/

Option 2 (2nd cheapest): starts at $2000: free standing display case view-able from all sides. 5 sided plexi box on a pedestal shelf. Gel pack possible. (Base cabinet can be built by GHS). does not include shipping. https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/free-standing-option-2-2/

Option 3 (most expensive): starts at $5100: free standing display case view-able from all sides; 5 sided plexi box (3/8" thick vs 1/4") on a pedestal shelf (aluminum/linen wrapped); door (rather than pull over);(base cabinet can be built for underneath); low cost micro-climate control that will need maintenance; does not include shipping. https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=336032
