Title: J Day Birmingham wire gage
Post by: Northwoods on September 29, 2017, 10:51:41 PM
Anyone know of the J Day company?
I came home with one of their heavy steel wire gages, nearly identical to this one.  Mine goes down to 29 gage.

I find some reference to a J. Day company located in Stafford, England in the late 1800's. (Stafford seems to be located just north of Birmingham) But details are pretty sparse.
