Oakland Underfoot

3701 Laurel Avenue

You’d have to be a G. Pool fanatic to spot this mark, and even more fanatical to record it. But I am that fanatic, and it’s a new year for me.

3048 Wisconsin Street

Ed Doty changed to a curved mark after 1936, but I’ve seen a handful of dated marks from later years where he used the old straight text instead.

3287 Arizona Street

I believe that this very nice mark by Salvatore De Guarda is hand-drawn. Here’s another configuration from the same year.

3325 Florida Street

As always, I feature nearly every Frank Salamid mark because its configuration is unique, even within a given year.

Laurel Avenue at Sylvan Avenue

Here’s another mark that Nancy alerted us to back in 2012. Dated marks by Cunningham & Gunter are rare as hen’s teeth.

3719 Laurel Avenue

Hard to read, but definitely another rare example of R. P. Smilie’s work. My other example from 1924 is configured differently.

3212 Laurel Avenue

Here’s another mark that Nancy made note of in 2012. It was a pleasure to find it myself, and I hope it lasts many more years.
