Abstract
Abstract A box for storing and displaying elongated articles such as pens and pencils in which an elongated flat base has a laterally extending recess in its upper surface provided with eccentrically positioned spaced holes for receiving locating pins on an article holder boss adapted to mate with the recess so as correctly to orient the article tips with relation to the box. The holder is formed with one or more resilient sockets tapered in the direction toward which the article tips are to be oriented. A transparent cover pivoted on the base includes means for receiving snap-locking bosses on the base when the cover is closed.
