Abstract
A convertible display case and desk organizer includes hingedly connected top and bottom sections pivotable with respect to another between closed position and opened positions. A first insert capable of releasably securing at least one writing instrument is releasably placed in the bottom section. The arrangement is such that, when the first insert is disposed within the bottom section, the top and bottom sections and first insert assume a display case mode. A second insert is releasably placed in the bottom section when the first insert is removed therefrom. The second insert has an outwardly extending portion which extends outwardly beyond the edge of the top and bottom sections when they are in their closed position. The outwardly extending portion has at least one aperture formed therein for receiving a writing instrument in a substantially upright position. The arrangement is such that, when said second insert is disposed within the bottom section, the top and bottom sections and the second insert assume a desk organizer mode.
