The invention contemplates a case including two disks adapted to be placed face to face and between which a photo or other printed sheet may be interposed, at least one of the disks being transparent to reveal the sheet. The disks are encircled by a retaining rim of elastic material having an annular groove to receive the edges of the disks to hold the disks in proper position and prevent the entrance of both moisture and dust.

Referring, now, to the illustrations 3, represents the rim which is endless preferably of rubber and circular in cross-section. -The rim is provided with an internal annular groove, 4, which inoloses the edges of the transparent disks, 5, between which is inter- 65 posed an exhibit sheet 6. The disks are preferably externally beveled as at 7, to facilitate the mounting and demounting of the rim.

Obviously. one of the disks may be a inirror if desired or both may be transparent to reveal two photos placed back to back between the disks. The rim being of rubber or other elastic material, it holds the disks firmly against displacement and prevents the entrance of foreign material between the disks.

To mount and necessary to spring one edge thereof, the disk.

Having thu described my invention, what claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent of the United States is,-
