What-is-it question CCV
A small American patented clip from 1902, just the sort of thing that would be found in a jewel case and its original purpose unknown:
It actual size, I suspect, would be as below:
Whilst I guess this clip could be used for several uses, I'm looking for original purpose for which it was sold back in 1902.

Hi Rhodri,
Good to see you back on the forum, you've been away too long.
No, not a money clip, although perhaps it may have performed that task later in life, but not the intended use in 1902.

Hi Silverly,
No, not a chatelaine holder. This is just a simple device connected with a gentlemen's wearing apparel.

Silverly, I was thinking in the same vein. A garter clip for hose.
