A male garden hose fitting on my bench is 1.050 over the threads,
pitch is 11.5 TPI. That's probably nominally 1-1/16 - 11.5. I
think I have seen dies like this in a catalog, but I lathe-cut them.


Further research leads me to believe that 1.0625 x 11.5 is in fact
the correct size. Although mine are definitely tapered, but that's
old school, and no harm would be done by rethreading to the current
straight standard. Do you remember what catalog you saw this size in?
Obviously, it's going to be tricky to chuck my house up for turning,
which is why I am looking for a hand die ;-) Thanks for the info.
