Los Angeles Street at Arlington Avenue
This is in the heart of the old Golden Gate tract. I photographed it four years ago, and it may be gone by now. The other marks on this street date from the 1910s.

54th Street at Gaskill Street
Some time between 1912 and 1936, Park Street had its name changed to Gaskill Street, but they left the concrete alone.
Once again I’ve run short of sidewalk stamps. For a few days I’ll be running some special marks that have caught my eye during my long survey of Oakland sidewalks.
1928 – Heafey-Moore Co.

2557 Potomac Street
Most of this block was done by Heafey-Moore on October 30 and 31.
1924 – R. P. Smilie

3463 Coolidge Avenue
I’ve run into Smilie before as part of Smilie & McArthur.
Incidentally, Coolidge used to be called Peralta Street when this area was part of Brooklyn. When Oakland annexed it, the name had to change because there was already a Peralta Street in West Oakland.
F. W. Metge

3644 Dimond Avenue
This is right next to the 1912 Hutchinson Co. mark in the Renaissance School property. I think that Metge and Hutchinson worked together on this paving job, which would give Metge a 1912 date too.
1912 – Hutchinson Co.
24 January 2013
3644 Dimond Avenue
This is part of the Renaissance School grounds. Not only does this push Hutchinson Co. back a little earlier, it also tells me that the mark must go back to 1910 at least, because this is clearly a hand-altered 1910 stamp.
