Oakland Underfoot

523 E. 17th Street

I just love this guy’s mark.

64 Sonia Street

I have another mark from this year by Dante Del Vigna, but this has a proper stamped date. This has no accent over the E in Dante, either.

815 Arlington Avenue

With this mark I’ve documented Lovisone between 1928 and 1938.

Adeline Street at 60th Street

This is the third sidewalk stamp at Lois the Pie Queen’s, all of which are collectable.

1232 39th Avenue

This mark is cause for fireworks, pushing C. Valenzuela from 1950 all the way to the thirties. With a latest date of 1988, this mark puts Valenzuela in a tie with Frank Salamid for the longest record, 50 years.

Carlos Valenzuela is listed in the 1937 directory with no occupation, in the 1938 directory as a laborer, in the 1940 directory as a concrete worker and in the 1941 directory as a cement finisher, living at 992 35th Street with his wife Mary.

9825 Thermal Street

F. Verheyen is a new name for me.

724 4th Street

Another example from the mysterious N. Ferri.
