3275 Hyde Street
Finally, one of these with a date. The Bacon Block was down in Old Oakland.

1912 – E. H. Sundberg
19 July 20131912 – Avelar & Co.
25 May 2013
1700 block 48th Avenue
1912 – Ogden & Utterback
24 March 2013
2601 Wakefield Avenue
Ogden is surely G. Ogden of Fruitvale. Utterback is a name I haven’t run into before. This date is before any of my other Ogden marks.
1912 – E. E. Rollins

1942 E. 26th Street
Another mark with the old-fashioned “Laid by” wording.
1912 – Reardon-Crist Construction Co.
23 February 2013
1500 block E. 31st Street
Marks by this maker are quite scarce today, as you might imagine.
1912 – Hutchinson Co.
24 January 2013
3644 Dimond Avenue
This is part of the Renaissance School grounds. Not only does this push Hutchinson Co. back a little earlier, it also tells me that the mark must go back to 1910 at least, because this is clearly a hand-altered 1910 stamp.
1912 – Nelson & Johnson
25 September 2012
E. 17th Street at 19th Avenue
This whole block of E. 17th was paved by Nelson & Johnson, and maybe beyond—I didn’t check the next block in that direction.
