Looking for a way to display fans.

I have several fans from the 1950's (maybe 40's - not sure) and I want to display them in a way that both sides can be seen, since the writing on the back, especially the phone numbers, are so telling of the time. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Hi June,
How about setting them in an antique bowl or basket so that you and others can pick them up and look at them in hand? These are really great and I can't think of any way to display them to be seen and be appreciated than to actually be held and read and tried.
Display case with a mirror backing
Arrange them on a room divider that has mesh screening in the panels. That way both sides can be seen. Put some on each side of the divider!
Maybe place them in big frames To make like some sort of collage or something out of them. This would also protect them from damage in the future. I love your collection ❤️ My great grandmother used to have fans lying around her house like that. 😊
Why not frame them between two sheets of plexiglass? You could either then use a wooden frame or maybe have holes drilled in the plexiglass to hang in an open space
Maybe... Or you could build a box out of picture frames with a mirror in the back.? I don't know...
Try vintage purses too! Some are very pretty with floral patterns. You could also display vintage gloves, hats, and corsage (fake) flowers. Mix it up and have fun looking for items that will work together!
