Durex Cigar Press

[PSTAN]

I picked up an old cigar press several years ago and was wondering if anyone has ever heard of the brand. I did not put a picture with the post because I am not the best with internet picture posting, but I do have one on my profile though.

Stamped on the press:

7 DUREX 28 - On one end
514100 - On opposite end

Any ideas?

Must have been compensating :laugh:

The Durex cigar press made by the DuBrul Manufacturing Co. from Cincinnati, Ohio. Pat Pend 11\24\1914. 514100 is the serial number and 7 Durex 28 is their model number. I don't know what size that translates too.

Thanks AVB. I knew the press was old but I didn't figure it was that old. I'll make some measurements to see what size it was used to make. I picked the press up in 1996 at a flea market in Bowie, Texas. Glad I bought it.
