    I am thinking that the rolls would store nicely on a wine rack in messenger or shipping tubes. Keep you eye out for one at the thrift store.

    I have the Storage unit also (you can buy these from different places cheaper). Made a listing of my pantos (name/picture/and numbered them) and printed it out. I put the number on my panto and filed in the appropriate drawer. Drawer 1 has 1-10, 2 has 11-20, etc. If I need to I can renumber the tab on the outside of the drawer, but it seemed like 10 to a drawer was a good start.

    Since I have been L/A for many yrs I have accumulated many pantos....I have them in a wooden bookshelf turned on its side and dh put separators inbetween....like a liquor box only a little bigger and I have them stacked my motif that way..i.e., feathers, swirls, baby, modern, flowers, leaves, etc..........has worked for me......they are hard to discribe, but look sort of like pidgeon holes or shoe cubbies..........
