I was reading about possession on the particle の and it stated one of the ways
you can show possession was

> これ は だれ の かんばん ですか

and I was just wondering if this would also work

> あの かさ は だれ の ですか

I'm not sure if you need to have something for the の to connect to or if you
can just do it this way.

question
grammar particle-の
Can the possessive の particle be used like this? あの かさ は だれ の ですか
Well... how about this

> あの かさ は だれ の **もの** ですか  
>  Ano kasa-wa dare-no **mono** desu-ka?

answer
Yes you can. This is one of the cases where `の` effectively acts as `の +
noun`. The noun is implicit and as stated in previous answers it is 物{もの}. You
can read more about how `の` works
