1928 – J. M. Ruiz

5919 Dover Street
A rare Monk mark. Without my brush handy, it was hard to deal with the dirt at this lot under renovation. We’ll see if the driveway survives the upgrade.
1928 – Lovisone & Co.
26 May 2019
Peralta Street at 16th Street
Lovisone & Co. used two different stamps in 1928. This was the first one, with straight text. Later in 1928 they switched to a stamp with arched letters, and used it in 1929 as well. From 1930 to 1939, the last year I’ve documented, they used an arched-text stamp saying “Lovisone” without the “& Co.”
The only reason I know this is from 1928 and not 1925 is that a 1928 mark appears on the other side of this driveway.
1928 – Ed Doty
19 January 2018
573 Wesley Avenue
This version of Doty’s second-oldest stamp used a dot in the date instead of a dash.
1928 – Doyle & Sons

1814 89th Avenue
Just a few weeks after putting down the mark I showed yesterday, Doyle (or one of his sons) made this one, using a different configuration for the date and somehow getting both the “D” and the “8” upside down.
