1927kkk

2526 64th Avenue

1925 – G. O. Thomas

21 September 2014

1925oo

2317 65th Avenue

This is the best example of a G. O. Thomas mark I’m likely ever to see.

The next few stamps come from two adjacent streets where most of the sidewalks and driveways are red. This is the first all-red district I’ve found in Oakland. Havenscourt feels like an enclave with its own long-standing customs.

1912 – The Oakland Paving Co.

20 September 2014

1912qq

1923 65th Avenue

There’s another one across the street. Oakland Paving may have done this whole block, back in the day.

1983 – C. Valenzuela

19 September 2014

1953p

3350 Morcom Avenue

I originally thought this said 1953, but I’ve revisited it and now I’ve listed it among the 1983s.

1947 – Hennig

18 September 2014

1947gg

3474 Birdsall Avenue

This extends Hennig’s range another year into the 1940s.

1937 – J. C. Vieira

17 September 2014

1937llll

4463 Redding Street

I’m getting a pretty full set of these going from 1924 to 1942.

1931 – C. L. Rogers

16 September 2014

1931eeee

4451 Redding Street

This is about as clear as C. L. Rogers marks get.
