1912 – Esterly Con. Co.

15 October 2025

804 Allston Way, Berkeley

A different configuration of the same date by this maker.

1912 – J. Catucci

25 March 2025

5530 Beaudry Street, Emeryville

I haven’t found a Catucci mark in this configuration before. It’s also the oldest one I’ve found.

By the way, this block of Beaudry Street is a trip, a nearly pristine piece of old Emeryville.

1912 – Azorean Construction Co.

1 February 2023

2755 E. 7th Street

It caught my eye and wouldn’t let go. It’s the only Azorean Construction Co. stamp I’ve found with a date.

I believe this is E. Nelson, who was responsible for various marks, with and without Johnson, in the early 1910s.

96th Avenue at International Boulevard

Notice that here Mr. Grau put the day before the month, whereas in yesterday’s mark the month came first. And this was during the same month!

Very fragmentary, but it still counts.
