Retaining ring for the spout on a kitchen set? Don't think there's
any standard sizes there. Bonnet on a wall tap might be a standard
thread about that size, for a given value of "standard", but I don't
think it's in the SAE thread set. Internally, the actual shaft part
that moves is a very coarse thread, some Acme, some multi-start, know
that from taking a hundred or so scrap ones apart, no standards
there. If you need a tap for that stuff, it's time to quit pinching
pennies and go get a new one! With a lathe, you can cut a new tap to
fit, but it'll take more time than a new one's worth unless you're
dead and your time's worth nothing.

I just asked because MSC sells a 24mx1 die. That would be close. And
maybe your guy figured that since it was less than an inch and more
that 15/16th that it must be 31/32 dia. even though he measured .945
