1930 – N. Ferri

20 January 2014

1930hhh

3900 Agua Vista Street

This property has two N. Ferri marks, both with “30” clearly scratched beneath the stamp. With this pristine example, I can finally say that the date in the stamp is 1927, not 1937. I’ll have to reconsider and revise my other examples.

1922 – R. C. Malone

1922jj

2243 Rosedale Avenue

Probably the best example of this maker I’ve found. The homeowner was pleased when I showed him what I was doing.

1945 – Art. Stene

1945s

3530 Libby Court

A new name for me, presumably Arthur Stene.

1935 – A. Casqueiro

2014 – Rosas Brothers

3610 35th Avenue

Rosas Brothers has been busy on 35th Avenue for a few months, and into the new year. It’s great to find a current year’s mark so soon.

1952 – G. Tribuzio & Sons

1952v

3486 39th Avenue

Every G. Tribuzio & Sons mark seems to be this ghostly. It takes a winter afternoon to spot one.
