Abstract
An anti-theft device for securing an article of merchandise against unauthorized removal from a display counter. A clip securely holds the article of merchandise. The clip has a hook on a bottom surface thereof. A base has an aperture configured to receive the hook. When the hook is inserted into the base through the opening, the clip is shifted relative to the base such that the point of the hook resides underneath a top plate of the base. A locking member immobilizes the clip within the base preventing the hook from becoming realigned with the base. A key is used to retract the locking member to release the clip from the base.
