        Subject:        [PW] ? display cases ...


I've seeking a word or phrase, describing a box with many small 
compartments (not the same size) that can hang on a wall or stand on a 
table, in 
which one displays little ornaments and such . . . they're used by people 
who 
make them to order with ornaments and such that detail someone's life . . 
. they 
look sort of like type cases (in which you keep movable printing type, but 
those 
have almost all the compartments the same size, and what 
I'm thinking of doesn't . . . what are these display cases called?

       Many thanks,
