how do you store your wooden parallel handscrew clamps?

I've been cleaning up a bunch of handscrew clamps that I've accumulated over years-mostly thru garage sales. One was one that I must have purchased but was rusted and neither handle wouldn't turn. It took about 3 days of loading them up with liquid wrench to get them to turn. Then I found it wouldn't pivot so I applied past wax to the pivots and warmed it up so it would soak in. That took another few days. I should have started that process a few years ago.

I've been storing them in a couple of milk crates, and while functional, it's not the best. I get the feeling that you folks may have some better ideas for storage. I must admit that I had never noticed the numbers on the ends of them. I have about 16 or so of them in about three sizes.

Thanks for your ideas.
