<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ExoMan, post: 2801806, member: 72588&quot;]Hi Bruce .... Here&#039;s the one you didn&#039;t see. I believe it&#039;s the stamp of David R. Ramsay, listed as a &quot;punchcutter&quot; in the 1849 NY City Directory. The relatively uncommon name and initials make him the most likely issuer, methinks. Then too, why wouldn&#039;t a guy who made punches for others not have one of his own? </p><p><br /></p><p>Brunk listed but one specimen, # R-61, and this may well be the one in his census. Ramsay is absent from subsequent NY directories, and given the lack of more of his counterstamps, I can only guess that he found another occupation elsewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]653361[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
