Oakland Underfoot

5821 Harmon Avenue

Marks by Stone are quite scarce.

2425 Alida Street

4224 Fruitvale Avenue

This gives me a complete set of Otto Hennig’s marks from 1928 to 1942.

You could call this date overdetermined: it says “Feb. 25” at the top, “1941” in the middle and “2 – 41” at the bottom.

3450 block Penniman Avenue

I have an F. E. Flaherty mark from his stamp, but this is not only a hand-drawn mark, but a really nice example of Flaherty’s decorative concrete work in a driveway. Wish I could show you the whole thing.

3029 Humboldt Avenue

Today I’m scheduled to meet with a film crew to talk about sidewalk stamps and show them some favorites.

1242 105th Avenue

2621 Hickory Street

Duffin & Riding did this entire street, so it’s likely that their well-preserved 1941 marks will never be erased. My previous example of this date was pretty precarious.
