A caddy of generally modular form for writing implements is designed with a plurality of sockets to receive and support writing implements in upright position, with the writing ends secured in closed position with the receiving socket. In one embodiment, the caddy accommodates a plurality of conventional marking pens together with their individual caps, which caps remain captive when the pens are removed. In another embodiment the caps are initially incorporated in the sockets, which serve as caps for the interposed writing implements. In a further modification the caddies are combined with standards comprising a series of modules having U-shaped attachments on their rear bases which are designed to hook onto one or more additional modules, so that several caddies may be stacked together in aligned relation on a supporting surface for accommodating a variety of writing implements. In another modification, a patch of a self-gripping fastening material known by the trademark VELCRO, or the like, may be attached to the surface of the caddy, so that the latter may be removed from a desk or other supporting surface and secured in a notebook or carrying case.
