This invention provides a support that may be used to hold articles and which may be removably attached to a base that is mounted on a wall. The device has two main parts (1) a base that may be mounted on a wall and (2) a plug-in device that may be inserted into or removed from the base. The base defines a cavity for receiving one end of the plug-in device. One wall of the cavity is a resilient arm the free end of which enters an indent in the plug-in device to provide some impedance to the removal of the plug-in device from the cavity. A cam or wedge may be used to firmly secure the arm in the indent and thus secure the plug-in device in the cavity. The plug-in device has two free ends each with a socket. A resilient cord, with spaced enlargements, extends between the free ends of the plug-in device and holds an article, such as a coil of wire or a broom handle, against the plug-in device.
