3522 Laurel Avenue

Now I have hand-drawn marks by J. Kemble from 1940 and 1941, the last two years of his reign (so far).

3333 Georgia Street

S. Giuntoli marks are already small—this is a bit bigger than life size— but then he added the last two digits of the date in really small numerals that aren’t always legible.

2906 Delaware Street

Ed Doty switched from a straight-text mark to an arched-text mark some time in 1937. This example constrains the date to some time after February. I haven’t paid close attention to the months on arched-text marks, but now I guess I should.

3826 San Juan Street

This is probably W. Pool, but for some reason he left off his initial. During this year he also made entirely different marks under the name W. B. Pool & Son.

3216 Dakota Street

J. B. Lee, the noted CEWENT CONTRACTOR, rarely dated his marks. This example, with a nicely stamped date way down below, is unique so far.

3911 San Juan Street

This pushes Ogden back another year.
