1914 – A. H. Kopperud

18 October 2012

1914

Durant Avenue at Voltaire Avenue

I believe that this must be A. (Andres) Harold Kopperud (1868–1961), who is buried at Evergreen Cemetery. The 1940 city directory listed him with an address on Woodland Way in Piedmont, along with his wife Julia.

This mark is on both corners of the intersection. A propitious, palindromic day it was when this mark was made.

1914 – M. Goncalves

1914

Stuart Street at E. 32nd Street

M. Goncalves is a new maker for me, and only my second with an “East Oakland” address (the other is C. F. Lund).

1914 – Hutchinson Co.

2017 5th Avenue

The next batch come from the Clinton Park neighborhood. I’m looking forward to seeing more of it.

1914 – A. E. Derby

1914

East 16th Street at 29th Avenue

This mark is rather near little Derby Avenue, so I wonder if the street is named for the contractor.

1914 – Ransome Crummey Company

33rd Avenue at E. 16th Street

1914 – W. N. Whitmore

1914

3028 E. 17th Street

This is Whitmore’s more typical mark.

1914 – Sandin & Swanson

19 August 2011

1914

1021 Arlington Avenue

Like yesterday’s 1913 mark, this Sandin & Swanson mark is unusual in having the year on the left. It’s unlike all other S&S marks that way, too. Odd. But now I have a full set from 1912 to 1918.
