Corners: 65th Street and Herzog Street
25 September 20151924 – 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.

The numerals are Holt’s phone number. The lettering is interesting; I would put this in the early 1920s.
W. D. Perine

E. 20th Street at 12th Avenue
This confirms that yesterday’s mark is in fact by W. D. Perine. I don’t dare guess the date, which is in the middle of this mark, but marks of this type generally predate 1920.
1913 – E. Nelson
18 August 2011
1029 Arlington Avenue
This is definitely not W. E. Nelson as there is no W. I’m assigning it to 1913 because I can’t see what else it could be.

Perkins Street at Warwick Avenue
Lincoln Cushing’s site shows clear examples of this mark going back to 1899. Actually my photo is lousy, but the mark itself is no better so it’s a wash.
UPDATE:Apparently this mark has been erased since I recorded it in 2010.
1931 – Aaron Dahlquist
