Sixpence for sun-worshipper (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tanner

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'sixpence' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Old sixpence ' mean 'tanner' so perhaps 'sixpence' could also mean 'tanner')

'sun-worshipper' is the second definition.
(someone who tans)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tanner that I've seen before include "once seeing heads and tails here?" , "person in the solarium" , "Old bit of silver" , "Formerly 6d (sl.)" , "[PENNIES] ?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
