If there was any doubt about the date of yesterday’s mark, this one erases it, giving Brown an impressive range from 1930 to 1962.
1962 – Frank M. Brown

This establishes Brown at quite a later date than I had before.

F. M. Brown may have been the same guy as Frank M. Brown, but if he was I don’t know why he used two different stamps during the same years. My previous dated examples are all from 1944, but it wasn’t clear until I saw this one that he used an actual stamp instead of (or besides) doing them by hand. Maybe he had a solo practice as well as his contractor’s practice.
1942 – General Con. Co.

Weird old Nick Ferri left this unusually clear mark on the street’s first driveway.
1941 – Cragun & Cragun

Among a set of several stamped Cragun & Cragun marks in driveways is this hand-drawn one on a sidewalk.
