3815 Wisconsin Street

This may be the finest concrete mark on all of Wisconsin Street. Of three marks I’ve seen by H K C Co., this is the only pristine one.

I am guessing that this was made by Frank M. Brown, but he usually used a nice barrel-shaped stamp.

1999d

55th Avenue at International Boulevard

I must have seen a thousand AJW Construction marks. Only this one is dated before the 21st century, so far.

1974 – Jayson & Dad

1974d

3884 Loma Vista Avenue

An August day, a man and his son.

1971 – Flag Day

1971e

3955 Magee Avenue

Whoever made this cared more about the occasion than his identity.

1970 – Julee

Once upon a time, there she was.

1969 – L. Petros

1969e

3875 Loma Vista Avenue

I never know if marks like this are amateur or professional until I’ve seen two of them.
