2130 51st Avenue
I look forward to finding dated examples from Mr. Melvin.
G. W. Melvin
29 July 20141944 – F. M. Brown
28 July 2014
5218 Foothill Boulevard
This clears up the mystery of the incomplete example I documented a while back.
1943 – S. Giuntoli
27 July 2014
1921 51st Avenue
1928 – R. C. Malone
26 July 2014
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.
1928 – M. Cvetich
25 July 2014
2137 Vicksburg Avenue
This is the earliest M. Cvetich mark I’ve found, and a second example of this racetrack format.
1925 – Tribuzio Bros.
24 July 2014
2152 Vicksburg Avenue
Tribuzio Brothers marks are quite rare. This one is far better than my previous example.
1918 – J. Catucci
23 July 2014
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.
