    Nice Brassie!
    And made even better by your gathering of materials.

    I store my meager supplies in an old gun display case I inherited from my Dad. It has a glass door and sides in wood.
    I asked Denny about preservation of my Conranch Hackles I had bought from him and he directed me to an Al Campbell article here.
    No pest strips. Available at most supermarkets. I bought 2. One is open and hanging in my storage/display case (I find the hackles beautiful to look at as well as to use), and a spare in it's foil package for the future.
    The no pest strip fumigates the materials so no bugs can even begin.

    Search Al Campbell from the main page.
    Pick item 3 of page one of the results. (Al Campbell articles)
    Find "Don't Bug Me!" in the first quarter of 2004.
    (Ron, we really need a way to url these fine archived articles)

    Anything that goes into my case is in a no pest area and soon can't have any "bugs" on it.
    Some like "moth balls". (I've seen lots of moths, but still can't tell male from female)
    Me, I'm a bit more pro-active, so I like setting up a death zone for bugs.
    YMMV
