1937 – W. M. Sharp

1937cccc

2112 High Street

1937 – W. Brill

1937bbbb

2853 Carmel Street

This is the third version of W. Brill’s mark I have from 1937, the other two being stamps rather than a signature.

1937 – L. Banchero

1937aaaa

1169 76th Avenue

My very first Banchero mark was from 1937, but that date was pretty iffy. This is pretty sure.

1937 – Ed Doty (straight mark)

1937zzz

2906 Delaware Street

Ed Doty switched from a straight-text mark to an arched-text mark some time in 1937. This example constrains the date to some time after February. I haven’t paid close attention to the months on arched-text marks, but now I guess I should.

1937 – O. C. Jones

1937yyy

2725 Carmel Street

O. C. Jones is still in business, although I don’t think they use a stamp any more.

1937 – J. Rodrigues

1937xxx

1864 Brentwood Road

Unlike my previous example, this one is completely unobstructed.

1937 – Johns & Son

1937www

3881 Fruitvale Avenue

I’ve come across this signature before and never quite trusted it, but this great big example, one of two on this driveway, leave no doubt that it was Johns & Son.
