Walter J. Ramsay (1802-1856) arrived in Raleigh in 1826 or 1827. He apprenticed with John C. Stedman. Following the death of Stedman in 1833, he formed the firm W. J. Ramsay & Co with Dirk Lindeman, a bookbinder. This firm dissolved in 1836 and Ramsay worked for several years on his own. In 1840 he moved to New Bern and opened a firm with Robert Beckwith. He returned to Raleigh and eventually partnered with John C. Palmer.

The mark on this spoon dates to circa 1833 - 1836.
