Oakland Underfoot

1106 88th Avenue

This is a superior strike of this date. It also shows a glitch, evident in the other example too, wherein the “6” in the date is superimposed on a “1.”

6126 Monadnock Way

An unusual hand-drawn mark by Ryan.

2624 57th Avenue

Most of the Poblitz marks on this stub of a street are from 1935, but I guess he came back later to finish the last lot on the back corner.

1699 70th Street

3215 Wyman Street

I’ve found another misspelled mark by T. A. Ryan, from 1931 when he used a different stamp. But even with this stamp, or stamp set, he evidently pressed the letters in one by one. Later on he used integral stamps so his dyslexia was no longer an issue.

3208 Knowland Avenue

861 70th Avenue

This big mark is made with a proper stamp, unlike my other example from this year.
