1930 – N. Tribuzio
22 December 20081930 – P. M. Henning
30 October 2008
4140 Opal Street
Henning marks are generally shallow like this, but the crisp date is nice.
1930 – Jepsen Bros.
30 October 2008
4124 Manila Avenue
Jepsen Bros marks start in 1911.
1930 – P. Barale & Co.

1930 – N. Tribuzio
14 September 2008
4236 Montgomery Street
In 1927, the Tribuzio company was at this same address but with a different phone number. I assume Weld Street was in Oakland, but a telephone historian surely knows where the TRIN exchange was.
1930 – W. E. Ensor
14 September 2008
4220 Montgomery Street
W. E. Ensor marks are widespread and distinctive, but the dates are not often legible. Ensor made a point of stamping every corner of their work so passers-by wouldn’t miss the horseshoe brand.
1930 – T. A. Ryan
9 July 2008
42d Street near Emerald Street
T. A. Ryan marks are few and scattered around North Oakland. T. A. seems to be the second generation of Ryans in the business.
