Oakland Underfoot

1050 82nd Avenue

A hand-drawn mark to go with my stamped mark from this late year in Dias’ career.

3301 64th Avenue Place

Weird old Nick Ferri left this unusually clear mark on the street’s first driveway.

6506 MacArthur Boulevard

Among a set of several stamped Cragun & Cragun marks in driveways is this hand-drawn one on a sidewalk.

1832 70th Avenue

W. M. Sharp used a handsome stamp from the mid-1920s through the 1930s. I have a hand-drawn mark from 1940, and now this one from the following year including his son.

2320 65th Avenue

Ed Doty used a curved mark almost exclusively after 1936, but a few dated examples of his previous straight-text mark exist, like this one.

3217 Knowland Avenue

4444 Pampas Avenue

This street has several Fischer marks; must have been a prosperous year.
