Abstract
Abstract A holder for display cards comprising an upstanding back panel, a forwardly directed base flange integral with said panel, and a handle depending from said base flange. The upper surface of such base flange is provided a D-ring assembly which is or can be standard for class notebooks. Such assembly is preferably riveted to and against the upper surface of the base flange. The D-ring assembly is spaced from the forward surface of the upstanding back panel so as to accommodate a rearward leaning of upstanding cards retained by the D-ring assembly; the forward edges of the D-ring assembly and base flange are aligned, or proximately so, so that cards supported by the D-ring assembly and extending downwardly are in approximate vertical disposition. The spacing between the D-ring assembly and the back panel can be employed for a variety of purposes.
