✅ 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.

According to Findagrave.com, William "Bull" Nelson was shot and killed at the Galt House in Louisville by Union Brig. Gen. Jefferson C. Davis who felt that he had been insulted by Nelson over a dispute concerning the Battle of Richmond, Ky, one month before ..hmmm

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.
