Abstract
By providing any desired stationery product with a movable plate or arm member which cooperates with the surface or body of the stationery product, a unique indicia retaining and displaying system is realized. Preferably, the plate or arm member is movably mounted to the stationery product for ease of insertion of an indicia bearing member and secure retention thereof when the plate or arm member is returned to its original position. In addition, the plate or arm member preferably comprises a transparent zone, in order to enable the indicia bearing member to be easily viewed.
