1912 – P. Schnoor & Son

31 March 2009

1912

Clifton Street and Lawton Avenue

P. Schnoor & Son marks are scarce, and dated ones are scarcer. So far I only have 1912 and 1913.

1912 – G. B. Castellotti

30 March 2009

5137 Miles Avenue

1912 – The Oakland Paving Co.

29 March 2009

1912

5543 Claremont Avenue

Ordinarily I wouldn’t accept such a poor mark, but I don’t have a 1912 mark by Oakland Paving Co.

1912 – J. R. Sorenson

28 March 2009

1912

474 55th Street

1912 – Sandin & Swanson

27 February 2009

1912

4841 Shafter Avenue

I find Sandin & Swanson marks very appealing for some reason. But they don’t seem to last; this 1915 mark is the best one I’ve found yet.

1912 – Fred H. Austin

23 October 2008

1912

4127 Emerald Street

This Fred Austin mark differs from my other 1912 mark in its curving date.

1912 – J. C. Estey

23 October 2008

1912

5844 Ocean View Drive

J. C. Estey marks are invariably poor. I only learned the full name from one at 497 48th Street, nine months after posting this one. This is the only one I’ve found with a date so far.
