2009 – Avilas

6038 Mauritania Avenue

Avilas may have been an amateur, but who can tell?

2004 – EBMUD

4 February 2015

2004d

5916 Monadnock Way

Now what strings were pulled to get our giant water agency to pave a single home’s driveway?

1989 – Burua Concrete

1989c

7248 MacArthur Boulevard

Burua ruled the sidewalks during the 1990s.

1962 – Frank M. Brown

2 February 2015

1962f

7046 Outlook Avenue

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.

1959 – Frank M. Brown

1 February 2015

1959i

3345 69th Avenue

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

1944 – J. Widell

1944 – F. M. Brown

1944y

6706 Outlook Avenue

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.
