    Miller Dubrul & Peters Mfg cigar tobacco press. Very early 1900s there were around 200 small cigar makers locally around where i live.Crates of unused cigar bands and boxes still show up, out of the old garages one in awhile.

    Got that right. My father had tons of them in the cellar and root cellar storing about every odd and end you could think of. Bolts, nuts, washers things I had no idea what they were. Much fun just sifting through the boxes
