6937 Lacey Avenue
Now I have the Riechel & Bredhoff mark from 1929 in both the tight arch and the easy arch form.

1929 – Riechel & Bredhoff
14 January 20151929 – Hutchinson
13 January 2015
7029 Outlook Avenue
The guys at Hutchinson really stretched to make this year.
1929 – J. Rodrigues
21 December 2014
6733 Foothill Boulevard
I like this mark a lot—one, because it’s crisp and uses red concrete, and two, because it documents Rodrigues at both addresses (7221 Orral Street and 1619 73rd Avenue) in the same year.
1929 – W. B. Pool
24 September 2014
2439 64th Avenue
Unlike my other example from this year, W. B. Pool used a hand-drawn date.
1929 – L. M. Williams
13 September 2014
3437 Birdsall Avenue
Like every L. M. Williams mark I’ve seen, this is lightly made and hard to read. Perhaps he was shy; perhaps he just waited too long before applying his mark. This one is a double strike.
1929 – R. C. Malone

1929 – W. B. Pool
8 May 2014
3616 Monterey Boulevard
I also have an example from this year with a hand-drawn date. But this mark shows that he already had a nice ready-made stamp with the date in January, while the other mark is dated in late May. My hypothesis is that he found changing the mark each month (see 1928) was too much bother, and hell, why get a new stamp each year either?
