A card and picture holder is formed from two identical, generally planar half portions, which are assembled together to capture a card, picture or other planar display object therebetween. Each half portion includes a transparent center window therein, so an article(s) sandwiched within the two portions may be viewed from either side. Each half portion includes a plurality of slotted channels formed in the periphery, which channels form hinge passages in the completed assembly and serve to capture the pins of interconnectors or a hanger(s) therein. The interconnectors are identical and symmetrical, and include an intermediate member which provides sufficient distance between the two opposite pins to allow for the thickness of the holders comprising an assembly of interconnected holders. Thus, the holders may be folded over one another for compact storage. The hangers have one side with a hinge pin, and an opposite side with a hanger loop or the like thereon, to allow one or more of the present holders to be suspended. Plural holders may be interconnected together to form a variety of patterns on a wall, or may be used as a room or space divider, with objects displayed therein being visible from both sides of the symmetrical assembly. The holders are preferably formed of plastic, but alternative materials (various metals, wood, etc.) may be used as desired.

A card and picture holder, comprising: a first half and a second half identical to said first half, with each said half having a periphery surrounding a transparent window; each said periphery having a plurality of inset slots formed therein, with each said periphery further having a mating face with a first channel and an opposite second channel formed therein and disposed on opposite sides of each of said slots, and with said first channel and said second channel of each of said slots being coaxial and adapted to form a first and an opposite second interconnector pin capture passage on said opposite sides of each of said slots when said first half and said second half of said card and picture holder are secured together in a planar parallel relationship to form said card and picture holder, and; a plurality of interconnectors, with each of said interconnectors including two parallel and spaced apart pins having an interconnecting member extending therebetween, with each of said pins being adapted to engage and to be captured within said first and said second interconnector pin capture passage when said first half and said second half are secured together to form said card and picture holder, whereby; said first half and said identical second half are assembled together to form a completed said card and picture holder for the display of a planar article therein, with said interconnectors providing for the assembly of plural said card and picture holders together as desired.
