4125 Barner Avenue
1942 – Duffin & Riding
3 February 20141942 – Ed Doty
2 February 2014
2183 42nd Avenue
An uncharacteristic error from Ed Doty.
1939 – T. A. Ryan

2933 Carlsen Street
I have an example of this “barrel” mark from 1940 too. In 1937 Ryan used both a straight text and an arched text mark. Some time between then and 1939, Ryan changed to this mark.
1939 – East Bay C. & C. Co.
31 January 2014
2911 Carmel Street
Marks by East Bay C. & C. Co. are scarce outside North Oakland. This one’s a much better example of the year than the one I posted before.
1938 – E. H. Buel
30 January 2014
4209 Wilshire Boulevard
Did you know we have our own Wilshire Boulevard? It has this exuberant mark from Ensor Buel, much nicer than the sorry example I posted over five years ago.
1937 – W. M. Sharp
29 January 2014
2112 High Street
1937 – W. Brill
28 January 2014
2853 Carmel Street
This is the third version of W. Brill’s mark I have from 1937, the other two being stamps rather than a signature.
