ABSTRACT:
An assembly for storing and displaying discs, cassettes, game cartridges, tapes or the like, including an elongated straight side-walled storage unit forming a column of longitudinally-spaced storage slots. First and second side members are secured to the opposite lower sides of the storage unit and extend out from it. A top member is secured to the storage unit and extends up from it. The side members and top member are configured such that together with the storage unit they define in front view a readily-recognizable outline of a common (non-storage unit) object, such as a guitar or other musical instrument. The slots or rib spaces of the storage unit define, when the object is a stringed musical instrument, the frets thereof. An interesting, attractive and readily identifiable storage and display assembly is thereby defined. The side and/or top members can also provide surfaces to which holders for holding special tapes or cases are face mounted. The entire assembly can be mounted fiat against a wall or upright to a base. When mounted to a base, the side members themselves can be directly secured to the base to further brace and support the elongated storage unit upright on the base.
