Oakland Underfoot

5218 Foothill Boulevard

This clears up the mystery of the incomplete example I documented a while back.

1921 51st Avenue

2160 Vicksburg Avenue

Not much of an example, but I’m grateful for every date from this Fruitvale maker, whose marks don’t hold up to wear.

2137 Vicksburg Avenue

This is the earliest M. Cvetich mark I’ve found, and a second example of this racetrack format.

2152 Vicksburg Avenue

Tribuzio Brothers marks are quite rare. This one is far better than my previous example.

2100 51st Avenue

This whole property, a stolid apartment building with a commanding view over the Melrose district, was paved by the Catucci company along with that side of Melrose Avenue. This is the large, open version of the Catucci mark.

2182 Vicksburg Avenue

Fugel added his middle initial to his mark after 1913, if I can cite a 1914 hand-drawn mark. It was certainly in place in 1916.
