Later in the 19th and early 20th Centuries they were romanticized as a fashion accessory for young ladies to hold the flowers brought by courting "gentleman callers". To show her acceptance of him, she skewered the flowers into the posy holder with a long pin and wore the holder to a ball. Attached to her hand by a chain and a ring, it swung free while they danced. Silver plate, apprx 5-1/4"L.
