A caddy (1) of generally modular form for writing implements including a plurality of sockets to receive and support writing implements (4) in upright position, with the writing ends secured in closed position with the receiving socket (2). In one embodiment, the caddy (1) accommodates a plurality of conventional marking pens (4) together with their individual caps (4b), which caps (4b) remain captive when the pens (4) are removed. In another embodiment (11) the caps are initially incorporated in the sockets (12). In a further modification, the caddies are combined with standards comprising a series of modules (25a) having U-shaped attachments (25f) on their rear bases which hook (25e) onto other additional modules (25a) so that several caddies (25a) may be stacked together. IN another modification (61), a patch of a self-gripping fastening material (65a) may be attached to the surface of the caddy (61), so that the latter may be removed from a supporting surface and secured in a carrying case (70).
