Abstract: A novelty article for storing small loose items employs a modified musical recording tape cartridge storage case which may contain an insert cart displaying a favorite recording artist of the user. The modified case includes a lid defined by a main front wall and an auxiliary back wall interconnected to and spaced from an end portion of the main front wall by a pair of side walls and an end wall so as to define a pocket along one end of the lid, and a body defined by an end wall and a pair of side walls and a main front wall connected to and extending outwardly from the end wall and connected to and extending between the side walls. The main back wall is relieved so as to define a void at an open end of the body. With the lid and body disposed in a closed position relative to one another, the auxiliary back wall of the lid lies in the void in a coplanar relationship with the main back wall of the body and the end wall of the lid closes the open end of the body.
