1832 70th Avenue
W. M. Sharp used a handsome stamp from the mid-1920s through the 1930s. I have a hand-drawn mark from 1940, and now this one from the following year including his son.
1941 – W. M. Sharp & Son
3 November 20141936 – Cal Cragun
2 November 2014
1699 70th Street
1933 – J. H. Fitzmaurice (III)
1 November 2014
6825 Avenal Avenue
This is satisfying, because I’ve recorded several other Fitzmaurice marks from this year, but the date has always been handwritten. Here’s a beautifully stamped date, AND in the rich red concrete of the Havenscourt neighborhood.
1928 – Geo. McMullen (McMullin)
31 October 2014
1641 69th Avenue
This is spooky, a mark by George McMullin several years older than the others I’ve found, and spelled differently! Also without his middle initial S! How did this happen? What does it mean?
1913 – Hutchinson Co.
30 October 2014
69th Avenue at Morken Street
As usual, I record every centenarian mark.

2116 Havenscourt Boulevard
My first example from Lee Railsback was rather poor, so it’s a pleasure to feature this excellent one from a lovely part of East Oakland.

Another combination of A. G. Moniz, this time (probably) with A. J. Silva, although possibly Joe B. Silva.
