I have a 1912 mark from Jepsen Bros., but this one has the date upside-down.

1912 – Jepsen Bros.
31 May 20111912 – The Argentic Concrete Paving Co.
2 May 2011
455 Wayne Avenue
Unlike the Argentic mark a little way down the road, this one has the date upside-down, then repeated on the right side.
1928 – Aaron Dahlquist
12 November 2010
26th Street at Broadway
The 8 in the date is upside down.
1929 – Lovisone & Co.
20 September 2010
642 57th Street
This is different from older and younger Lovisone marks. I”ll call it “Lovisone & Co.,” like the 1928 mark, although the “&” is upside-down and the “Co.” is only a “C” here.
1939 – O. C. Jones
14 January 2010
1931 – T. A. Rayn (Ryan)
29 December 2009
5663 Carberry Avenue
I already have a T. A. Ryan mark from this year, but it’s not so flagrantly misspelled. This demonstrates that Ryan impressed the characters one at a time.
1914 – P. Ryan
5 April 2009
5201 Manila Avenue
P. Ryan obviously made his marks using individual letters. The wire marks on some of the characters are interesting too. P. Ryan may or may not be related to T. A. Ryan, whose dates are later.
