Abstract
A flatware case has a base and a hingedly attached lid. Spaced posts extend upwardly from the floor of the base adjacent one end thereof for maintaining utility ends of stacks of flatware in position. Spring biased clamps are positioned to releasibly clamp the stems of the flatware stacked within the case. Flatware may thus be securely held in stacks within the case by the posts and clamps.
