<p>[QUOTE="Sandra, post: 397954, member: 3335"]I agree with the clasp/clip concept. I have seen similar devices in the interiors of vanity purses, card cases and cigarette cases. The angled flange in the center may have been to act as leverage instead of a spring mechanism. The holes on the sides may have been to secure the clip to the case. Can't offer an explanation for the holes on either side of the flange.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
