I'm hoping this isn't another situation where I'm just not searching with the correct terminology :face slap:
but I'm looking for a holder for my clamping kit for my mill. The kit I ordered, came in a clamshell container - I'd like to mount the clamps near my mill within easy reach instead of having to dig out a container, pry the stuff out, yadda yadda...

This is what I have:

This is what I'm looking for - this specifically is part of a complete advertized set, not just the "holder"

I custom made mini clamping for my mini mill so there was no storage.

I’m using peg board hoops which come in rows or single stack options.

Then again I have a pegboard wall behind the mill,so…
 
Travers used to sell one... Unfortunately it is NLA.

 
I have a spare rack like the one pictured, albeit a bit dirty, that fits ⅝" Bridgeport sized Tee nuts. I recently put all my clamping gear in a drawer and no longer have need for it. It's yours for the cost of shipping if you want it?
 
What size clamps are you looking for. The most common are the ones that fit the 5/8 slots in Bridgeport's and other commercial machines. I can't believe how much the prices have gone up. The last set I purchased was in 2020. the 58-piece set with a plastic rack to hang it on the wall cost $45.00.

I bought a 59-piece set (complete with wrench) and a metal rack for $55.00. They were so cheap I couldn't buy the steel for what they were asking for the complete kit.

I have the clamp kit - I want a different holder.
 
THIS type of wooden block base is very easy to make and use as an alternative. Some of the modern plastic racks (like you pictured) are a bit fragile. Vintage metal organizers hold up well.
