2317 65th Avenue
This is the best example of a G. O. Thomas mark I’m likely ever to see.
The next few stamps come from two adjacent streets where most of the sidewalks and driveways are red. This is the first all-red district I’ve found in Oakland. Havenscourt feels like an enclave with its own long-standing customs.
3410 Birdsall Avenue
These early marks by F. E. Flaherty, in the racetrack format, always intrigue me. This one pushes his record back by three years.
2550 Renwick Street
This is five years older than all previous Doyle & Sons marks I’ve found.
2152 Vicksburg Avenue
Tribuzio Brothers marks are quite rare. This one is far better than my previous example.
Walnut Street at Eastman Avenue
This charming street of stuccoed cottages has this mark on its whole length; only here is it dated.
3109 Eastman Avenue
The elusive A. Rodrigues of “Haward” shows up again! This is one of a pair at this address.
2454 Wilbur Street
This is the earliest J. B. Lee mark I’ve found. By 1928, Lee was scratching in the dates instead of bothering with a stamped date.
