Ring Sizer Mfg ????

[villagenut]

Found this brass ring sizer tool that I suspect to be from around 1910 or so. But the Company name, I just can't find anything on them to verify the age. It is stamped C.T-P Co. Chicago. So I have a company name, a City, a recognizable piece...but can't find info??I thought this one would be easy when I dug it but No.

Below is a cigar ring sizer which I think is what you have there.
CTP Co? Chicago Tobacco Products maybe?? Good luck.

I looked this up and I find that the cigar sizes are numbered 20 up to 60. 20 being about one fourth an inch and 60 being about an inch.My ring sizer has the numbers 1 through 15 stamped across the back at each hole or size. Of course that is based on what holes are still here and accounting for the missing parts. This would seem more like finger ring sizes to me

I did find this same one on line as a complete unbroken piece but there the seller has no idea of its history either.
