<upd_refs>I don't think its any sort of *item* (goods, holdings etc.)
Rather, I think it's a *property* of goods or items.
I think "goods on hand" would be something like 手持ち在庫 rather than 手持ち:
手持ち在庫 【てもちざいこ】 stock on hand; WI1
.

手持ちカメラ 【てもちカメラ】 handheld camera; WI1

<upd_detl>koj, etc. list as a noun (~もの), but i agree that it is better glossed as an adjective.  i think handheld is a different sense.  eij lists it with this meaning only as adj-f (similarly to the 手持ちカメラ example above)</upd_detl>
