On "The Bidding Room" recently there was an item from a competitor of Averys, which does not (as far as the search engine is concerned, seem to have been previously mentioned on the forum. This was a steelyard by Day & Millward.. Graces Guide lists the following:
Day & Millward

1700 Company established.

1851 Award at the 1851 Great Exhibition. See details at 1851 Great Exhibition: Reports of the Juries: Class V. - William C. Day and John Millward
