There are several of these on Stantonville, and also across Skyline on Chadbourne Way.

1314 E. 26th Street

This example is good enough to tell me that I was wrong in thinking that the numerals were a date. Instead, the mark reads “Leonard De Guarda / 4040 Quigley St”, an address at the very end of Quigley Street north of High Street.

2146 13th Avenue

This is a better example of the mark than my first one, on 9th Avenue.

2039 12th Avenue

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

11th Avenue at E. 20th Street

Wicker marks are in pretty poor condition, but this one clearly shows the details including the address of 1457 12th Avenue, quite nearby.

1028 E. 17th Street

This handsome escutcheon mark reads GEo GOODMAN / OFFICE / 307 MONTY ST / SF” using those adorable raised, underlined, small caps. When MS Word does this, it’s annoying.
