[PW] ? display cases ...

[Andersen, Patricia M. (SDSM&T)]

I know them as shadow boxes.  And movable type boxes might be all the
same size but just as many have variable sizes.

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,
