This must be the same guy as E. H. Buel. But now I wonder about Buel’s relationship to W. E. Ensor, who used the same horseshoe mark.

Ensor H. Buel worked in Berkeley during the 1930s-50s. Died around 1992. He was the contractor for many of the Grid Form Buildings in West Berkeley. See Berkeley Daily Planet article I wrote here.

Susan, many thanks for that info! I look forward to finding more dates; as of right now I have only four (1938, 1940, 1941, 1949) and six W. E. Ensor marks dating from 1922 to 1931.
