Spent brass ideas

[Pablo]

Any thoughts on what to do with the spent brass you took an animal with? Reloading is an obvious choice, but was thinking about maybe a shadow box or a display of some kind. Maybe each one with the trophy pic?
I have a friend who, for each trip, drilled holes and tied them together and keeps them on his desk. He’s getting a pretty good collection.
Gracias!

Special ones I engraved with a Dremel tool and put on a shelf in my gun room. I admired the first ones for a time. But then they became a nuisance because, I accumulated too many - and after all, they're just empty casings. I got rid of them all in the recycling bin. I may have been happier if I'd only saved one or two.

You could inset them on the trophy shield, I've seen others turned into cuff links too. Agree with the above post, after a while they accumulate and become a nuisance,unless they have particular sentimental value.

You could make ceiling fan chain pulls. I seated bullets in mine so they look like cartridges.

I have a friend who has them displayed on a shelf made from barn wood, and he puts in a Dollar inside them. The important ones I have, just have a date and the animal taken, written with a Sharpie.

I do the same-sharpie on each one with the date, bullet type, shot distance, species, location and outfitter/ph if there was one.
Mine reside in a glass fronted display case, the insides of which admittedly resemble something from the lair of “the Collector.”
