I have several (somewhere near 40) pantographs. I have kept them rolled in basically a small pail. Everytime I needed one, I would dig through the pail until I would find the right one. Sometimes unrolling to see the name or design. I have previously written the name on the outside of them, but I guess I missed a few. It was a mess. I have been on the lookout for a long time for a way that I coould get them organized and labeled. I knew what I wanted, but I could not find what I needed. I checked thrift shops...antique stores...department stores, etc. I needed something like a shoe rack/holder that had open sides, but I could only find ones that were boxy and had a closed back (would not work with wider pantos). After searching for over a year, I decided a wine rack could work. But I could not find one that would fit what I needed. Finally, one day in Walmart they had a new shoe holder. YEAH! The hunt was over.
I have them labeled so I can easily spot what I am hunting for. It is seperated out by Flora/Fauna, Classics, Seasonal, Feathers, and other. I have a notebook that I put the images in and it is also sorted by that. I have an alphabetical list at the front of the notebook. And I have a wish list at the back. So if nothing that I have will fit what I am looking for, maybe something in the wish list will. It gives me somthing to let customers look at without having to grab the panto. Works for me.
