Plastic Chain Ring? what's that all about?

I have aquired a plastic chain ring.
I saw it and had to have it as I thought it was pretty unusual.
is it an actual bike component?
or is it a sample or template or just a gimmic?
Trev say he has a 45t one, this is a 44.
Anyone know anyhting about them?

Very early - I think they are nylon, but I remember them with more holes.
Stu Thompson used to use them.

Yep , as Dave says Addicks . Around from early on , here's an ad from around 1978/79 with Stu Thomsen in it .
There was also an ad with Kevin McNeal in it promoting their graphite chainrings .
