1936 – M. Medis

1936

505 Fairmount Avenue

Medis apparently never updated his stencil. All the marks I’ve seen have said “192” even though it was the 1930s.

One of a long parade of Petersen marks over the years.

1936

5538 Taft Avenue

I’ve seen J. Bowen stamps before, but on this block of Taft there are several of them, at least two of them with 1936 dates. Notice that the bar under the name is actually a series of dashes.

1936 – J. Devoto

1936 – Ed Doty

20 September 2008

1936

4364 Montgomery Street

Ed Doty changed in 1937 to a curving stamp that incorporated his Concrete Master 16 serial number.

1936 – Schnoor Bros.

1936

5650 Broadway

The Schnoor Brothers and their predecessor P. Schnoor & Son both used this shield mark. Schnoor marks are usually not dated or dated with very light traces, making them difficult to read.
