Oakland Underfoot

3218 Elmwood Avenue

I’ve documented M. Dias from 1928 elsewhere, but this is a much better mark.

1001 Trestle Glen Road

This is the earliest Medis mark I’ve found so far.

1911 34th Avenue

Another “High Baghdad” Rasmussen mark.

1410 31st Avenue

This is a weird one, hand-altered to a date that I can only interpret as 1928. What’s weird is that I’ve seen several Oak. Concrete marks from the 1920s that didn’t need such finagling. Maybe one of their crews had to use the old stamp, which still had a 191x date, because the new one was out on a job.

3106 E. 15th Street

I have another dated H. Drath mark from the Grand Lake neighborhood, but this is much better preserved.

832 Aileen Street

Nice to see old Frank Salamid again. For some reason, the places I’ve surveyed didn’t have any of his marks.

837 York Street

It’s a shame that Fitzmaurice didn’t use this mark more; it may be my favorite.
