I continue to find new makers from the early days, even after all this time.

There are three of these on 84th Avenue.

4614 Melrose Avenue

Not a very clear mark, but I’ll take it.

1915 – P. Mathiesen

1915w

Harbor View Avenue at Loma Vista Avenue

This is a no-doubt example of a Mathiesen mark from 1915, unlike the one on California Street.

1915v

3286 California Street

Had to feel this one out with my fingers to be sure of the date.

1915 – Hutchinson Co.

1915u

3865 Coolidge Avenue

I’ve seen a lot of Hutchinson marks in high East Oakland, but this is the first new Hutchinson date in almost six months. The company specialized in doing whole blocks at once, I think. You see them at street corners a lot.
