Hi Jörg,
No, not a tie-bar, but you are thinking along the right lines.

No, neither a scarf pin nor a napkin holder.
But yes, it is attached to the person, and specifically for a female.

Clamps over hair and attaches to hat. For Tower of London tourists who volunteer to have their head chopped off. Makes for easy recovery in one piece. Oh sorry, I was thinking Universal Studios! Guess,the,trade was slightly different back then.

Is it something to do with hiking up the dress while cycling?
Re: What-is-it Question CCXI
Hi Traintime,
Interesting suggestion, but wrong I'm afraid.
Hi Silverly,
You are so close and I doubt we'll get closer, so I'll give you the cigar!
It's Deitsch Bros.'s Combination Belt and Skirt Supporter:
Deitsch Bros. - New York - 1896
Thanks to all. (Silvery, feel free to come and collect that cigar anytime).

Thanks Trev, so rather than a belt loop, this device was used. I'd have never guessed it.
