3005 Brook Street
I already have a 1938 Di Zillo—I’ve seen three, all with this date—but this is the best.

3502 Kempton Way
Kempton Way is a tiny loop of street left over when I-580 was cut through a living neighborhood. It has good views of the northern hills.
P. Barale didn’t always include the “& Co.” on its marks.

“3065” Brook Street
This is actually the back side of a brick auto shop that fronts on Broadway.
1938 – N. Tibuzio (Tribuzio)

3355 Richmond Boulevard
N. Tribuzio didn’t always have his stencil with him, I guess. But he always scratched down the address anyway.
1938 – J. Kemble

5373 Thomas Avenue
I wish J. Kemble had been more conscientious with the stamp; the arch of “Merritt (4610)” would look nice if he ever left a good mark. This one is doubled, too. Maybe he liked to drink while he worked, or had a hangover (and Happy New Year to you too).

A rare double impression.
