3618 Virden Avenue
A. G. Moniz collaborated with several different people over the years. I think I like this mark the best of them, although the Moniz & Moniz mark is also pretty wonderful, as is the rare Andrade & Moniz mark. I’ve documented a “Johnson Moniz” mark from 1941 that was hand-drawn.
1942 – G. Pool

3701 Laurel Avenue
You’d have to be a G. Pool fanatic to spot this mark, and even more fanatical to record it. But I am that fanatic, and it’s a new year for me.

An uncharacteristic error from Ed Doty.

The date is clearer in person than it appears in this photo.
1942 – P. Barale

3303 Octavia Street
Oakland’s Octavia is nothing like San Francisco’s. This P. Barale mark is unusually clear, so you can see the stumps of the characters “& Co.” that he filed off many years before.
