    We think it's brass, and it expands to around 6 inches in diameter.

    Nor to me. Could you post the photo here instead of the link maybe? Many people won't click a link.

    Welcome:)

    Sometimes the simple way works (right click, copy, paste) sometimes it doesn't:)

    For a purse neck closure maybe but I'm not sure if there is enough to tack fabric to. Maybe some googling will tell.

    Just noticed a purse with this type closure on the Murdoch Mysteries season 11 episode 9. I probably wouldn't have noticed it without the photo in this thread.

    If you are like the rest of us you sometimes get distracted from the storyline because you are looking at the stuff in the scene. LOL

    I lost most of the Big Reveal in an episode of Boardwalk Empire when I spotted a familiar image on a child's grave marker.

    It's actually Bertel Thorvaldsen's 'Night'.
