What are those display "brushes" called?

[nlsmith68]

Does anyone know what those weird metal brush looking things are that some people use to stand their cards upright for photographing? They look almost like some vintage horse or dog brush.
Thanks in advance!

they are flower frogs. they are something you put in the bottom of a vase and plunge the flower stalk into, so you can arrange flowers (bad grammar)

Bless you!! I would never have gotten there on my own. Thanks so much.

And although you can find them at antique stores, they are also available at Michael's in the floral dept.

Oh, I didn't know you could buy them at Michael's. Thanks for letting us know, I'll have to look for one next time I'm at Michael’s. For some reason I thought you couldn't buy them anymore.

They are fancy like some of the antique ones but they do have a large one and a package of four little ones.

Thanks. I've been wondering what they are called too.

Wow! That's great info... I would never have figured that out on my own... Looks like a brush for something.... Heading to Michaels to get one.

They're actually heavy for their size and sturdy. Great paper weights, lol.
