Sidewalk makers of Fruitvale

I count twelve different firms or practitioners who used “Fruitvale” in their sidewalk stamps. Here they are.

fruitvale-4

William Blandow. One dated example from 1915.

fruitvale-2

D & H. Davis and Hubmann? One example from 1927.

fruitvale-10

Charles Davis. One example from 1926.

fruitvale-3

R. Fernandez. No dated examples.

fruitvale-7

H. K. C. Co. No dated examples.

fruitvale-8

Christian Hubmann. Examples from 1912 and 1914-1919.

fruitvale-9

Adolph Lazzareschi. Examples from 1913.

fruitvale-1

Roland C. Malone. Examples from 1918, 1920, 1922, 1928, 1929, 1931, 1932 and 1936.

fruitvale-6

Fred W. Metge. Examples from 1911 and 1922-24.

fruitvale-5

Jonathan Ogden. Examples from 1913-18, 1920, 1922, 1924 and 1927.

fruitvale-11

Ogden and C. W. Utterback. One example from 1912.

Wallace N. Whitmore. Examples from 1912 to 1915.

Conceivably there are others whose work survives only outside Oakland. I doubt it, though.
