1937 – J. Kemble

7558 Greenly Drive

Kemble drew the date underneath, rather than inside the stamp here.

372 Orange Street

This is much prettier than my previous example of this date.

1937 – Ed Doty (master 13)

16 February 2018

This mark, from Howard Avenue in Piedmont, documents two things. First, it shows that distinguished sidewalk maker Ed Doty held “Master Concrete” number 13, in addition to numbers 16 (1937-38) and 17 (1938-45).

Second, it shows that Doty switched from this stamp to the curved configuration, which incorporates the Master Concrete bug inside, some time between April and September 1937, when he used Master Concrete number 16.

1712 86th Avenue

T. A. Ryan went through a lot of changes in 1937, using three different stamps over the course of the year. But on this day he just signed his work by hand.

1937tttt

1437 85th Avenue

This is the second example I have from the mysterious A. Nelson, and it confirms his name. I think he was very likely the mysterious Albert Nelson.
