“L-P” might be L. Putnam, but I kinda doubt it.

1940yyy

4178 Culver Street

This is a different configuration of Warren’s hand-drawn mark—but really I just wanted to testify about Culver Street, a lovely collection of period stucco homes.

1940 – W. G. Pool

1940xxx

3500 block Kansas Street

Okay, I’ve recorded lots of old W. (B.) Pool marks and lots of younger G. Pool marks, and now I come upon this, a W. G. Pool mark. It’s clearly not “W. & G. Pool,” and the lettering is in the style of G. Pool. This is actually early in the record for G. Pool, who goes from 1938 into the 1950s, so maybe he was playing around with his name at the time.

Now I have hand-drawn marks by J. Kemble from 1940 and 1941, the last two years of his reign (so far).
