1909 – Paul Schnoor

13 October 2025

808 Allston Way, Berkeley

Paul Schnoor stamps are rare. This is only the second date I’ve recorded for him.

1909 – Esterly Con. Co.

2231 Tenth Street, Berkeley

There are two stamps here, both with the same barely readable date.

1909 – Jepsen Bros.

10 March 2025

1806 Derby Street, Berkeley

I’m thinking this was hand-drawn. The oldest formal stamp I’ve found is from 1911.

1909 – Burnham Co.

3018 College Avenue, Berkeley

Oakland contains C. B. Burnham marks only from 1908, so it’s nice to expand the firm’s record a bit.

1909 – F. E. Nelson

12 July 2014

1909h

1900 block 47th Avenue

Just the other day I was thinking that I might have run out of pre-1910 marks, but there are several here next to Fremont High School.

1909 – C. J. Lindgren

6611 Tremont Street

Right at the Berkeley line.

1909 – F. E. Nelson

1909

160 Santa Rosa Avenue

Each time I find an F. E. Nelson mark from 1909, it’s better than the last.
