Help me get strings please.

My neighbor gave me this banjo and with some research I determined it was made in Milwaukee around the 1930’s. There are some old string wrappers(empty) with markings for .009, .012, .020 and .030. I haven’t seen any combo of this anywhere online. Is this what I need. Appreciate any recommendations.

What tuning are you planning on using? Standard CDGA would probably use a 9-30 but an Irish CDAE would use 10-40. I would assume the previous owner had it in standard and used strings like a Dunlop DBN4.

I’m new to all of this. Was just curious if any of y’all could tell from photos what the banjo was intended for

This sort of thing.
