Abstract: A display carton for accommodating various sizes of glass lamp fixtures, of variable widths as well as heights, comprises basically a three piece construction, including a first upper member having a base and a peripheral upstanding wall portion, and a lower member also including a base and an upstanding wall portion. The upper and lower members are slidably assembled so as to form the upper and lower portions of the carton, with each member respectfully supporting the opposite ends of the glass lamp fixture. The lower member includes an aperture for receiving the base end of the glass lamp fixture, and in order to accommodate different size diameters of lamp fixtures, an additional card having an aperture may be provided and temporarily secured to the lower member, with one end of the lamp fixture passing through the aperture in the card. Because of the sliding arrangement between the two members, lamp fixtures of variable height may be readily accommodated.
