Valance holder (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rod

'valance holder' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rod that I've seen before include "Old saying 'Spare the . . . and spoil the child'" , "Measurement" , "Angler's cane" , "Staff" , "A stiff stick" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the L.A. Times Daily and the Penny Press.
