1912 – E. H. Sundberg

19 July 2013

1912ll

3275 Hyde Street

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

1912 – Avelar & Co.

25 May 2013

1912jj

1700 block 48th Avenue

1912 – Ogden & Utterback

24 March 2013

1912ii

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

8 March 2013

1912hh

1942 E. 26th Street

Another mark with the old-fashioned “Laid by” wording.

1912 – Reardon-Crist Construction Co.

23 February 2013

1912gg

1500 block E. 31st Street

Marks by this maker are quite scarce today, as you might imagine.

1912 – Hutchinson Co.

24 January 2013

1912ff

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

1912

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.
