✅ SOLVED Nelson & Davis Name Plate

[Natman]

Hi all,
Found this today in an old yard, measures 1 1/4" high by almost 3" long. Can't find any info online. Any help appreciated as to who this might be or what company.

There was a scale manufacturing company by that name and place.

Horatio Nelson and David J. Davis were in the business of platform stock scales.
Their business was located at 303 and 305 Sixth St. Louisville.
