Ramsing
,
who lived in
Sct.

Stonor
and
together
they built a factor
y in a side-building in
Vimmelskaftet

,
where

Ramsings
product
was described by the
Industrial Exhibition
in 1840
as "
not so
beautifully
packaged
,
but
very
cheap
and perhaps
preferably
more
than
carpenter
AM

because they provide
a constant
flame
,
without
explosion.

Stonor
close their
factory
in late
1845.
