Can you identify this old clamp that is labelled L&D Depose?

Looks like something a lady would use to keep a wrap around her shoulders !!  Clip it on the front and it doesn`t fall off !!  Just guessing though !! We had something similar but two clips and small chain !!  I really have no idea !!

Looks to be a vintage glove holder / clip   kinda like this one.  They came in many shapes & forms

I didn't see any "spring" on it ..... thus it is a "tension" or "gravity" clamp for holding an item in a vertical position ..... via the weight of the clamp itself holding it closed.

Looks like ya could put a sheet of paper or a photo in the clamp and it would dangle there until you pulled it out.

This can also be a variation of this!

"Dress Lifter
Women relied on these little tongs to hoist up their skirt hems when crossing dirty streets. The 1880s silver-plated artifact — featuring the pantomime character Pierrot — would probably garner $120."
