Does anyone recognize this chain ring?

Hey guys does anyone recognize this chain ring? It's on a Rollfast but I'm pretty sure it's not correct.
Thanks guys, Chris

Thanks. I'd love to see some examples of it on a bike. I was 99% sure it didn't belong on that Rollfast.

My 1916 Davis has this ring....or one like it.
The ring in the picture doesn’t appear to have the “hobbed” indent. I am pretty sure the design pre-dates Davis. I always thought maybe they picked it up from consolidated Manufacturing when they got Yale and Snell in 1916.

Yes Davis

Davis No. 5 - think like 5-holes across, (including shaft hole, but not including drive pin hole), or think like the face of a die (dice).

As seen on Excelsior Michigan City Ind. bikes.

As advertised by a sewing machine company.

All of the Davis-Positive contributors in
this thread (so far) are correct, Chris.
