1740 Church Street
This is actually the back side of 1711 69th Avenue; much of Church Street has only one side.
2006 – Francisco Villa
6 November 20141984 – Davis & Sons Inc.

1441 70th Avenue
A very nicely preserved mark by Davis & Sons, from a time when not many contractors were using stamps.
1968 – Apodaca Bros.

2223 Church Street
Marks from Apodaca Bros’ earliest days are quite scarce.
1941 – W. M. Sharp & Son

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.
1936 – Cal Cragun

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?
