✅ SOLVED No Clue on This Item, Any Help?

[coinman123]

Found this a couple months back, I was looking at it yesterday night and noticed writing. Any ideas what it is, how old it is, and who the company is?

It says "Made in USA" on top, and may say "Velvet" on the bottom but I'm not sure.



Thanks for The Info, Coinman123,

Made on gilded sheet brass.

Suspender button ring. (Very similar to third in from left - top row - image swiped from BuckleBoy)



If you google "Velvet Suspender Clip, ebay" there is a set for sale on ebay.UK. And some very pleasant images as well. ;-)

Thanks, You nailed the ID! Any ideas of what time period it is from?

Early 1900's? I see a reference to H.W. Velvet Grip suspenders in a September 1, 1918 trade publication (regarding India Rubber!).

Thanks so much for the exact info, I would have never found it.

Thanks, Coinman123,

Looks like it is off a woman's garter belt.

I was just able to find a photo of it in an ad from Circa-1900.

Thanks again for the ID, I had no clue what it was, I though it was 1970's garbage at first.
