2434 Renwick Street
The mysterious Pool (probably W. G. Pool) appears again.
1926 – Pool
12 August 20141925 – Doyle & Sons
11 August 2014
2550 Renwick Street
This is five years older than all previous Doyle & Sons marks I’ve found.
1964 – A. G. Moniz

5362 Foothill Boulevard
Good old A. G. Moniz! This mark establishes him in the 1960s.
1952 – Frank M. Brown
9 August 2014
5420 Ygnacio Avenue
My first Frank Brown mark from the 1950s.
1928 – R. C. Malone
8 August 2014
4849 Fairfax Avenue
Another example of this date, this one with hand-drawn numerals.
1922 – L. M. Rasmussen
7 August 2014
4909 Fairfax Avenue
I think that Rasmussen’s earliest mark, from 1921, had all four digits cast in bronze. In 1922 he clearly altered the final 1 into a 2. After that, I think he eliminated the final digit from the mark.

East 17th Street at Seminary Avenue
There are two or three more of these nearby, all of them more readable than the first one I documented almost two years ago. This one was odd because it was tucked into a pavement corner rather than parallel to a face.
