Battered but handsome. I’m a sucker for the small caps in the word “and.” Hope I find more from this maker. See my profile here.

Perkins Street at Warwick Avenue
John Albert Marshall laid sidewalks in much of Adams Point in 1897 and 1898, although they were not marked with dates.
Actually my photo is lousy, but the mark itself is no better so it’s a wash.
UPDATE:This mark has been erased since I recorded it in 2010.

Each time I find an F. E. Nelson mark from 1909, it’s better than the last.

This has a shape suitable for putting a date in the middle. I’m guessing this is from around 1920.
