3315 Over Street
1929 – J. W. Roberts
1 December 20131928 – W. Pool
30 November 2013
3200 Star Avenue
Some of Oakland’s smallest streets have collectible marks. That’s why I check every single one with my own eyes, both sides.
1928 – Heafey-Moore Co.
29 November 2013
2557 Potomac Street
Most of this block was done by Heafey-Moore on October 30 and 31.
1925 – J. B. Lee
28 November 2013
2454 Wilbur Street
This is the earliest J. B. Lee mark I’ve found. By 1928, Lee was scratching in the dates instead of bothering with a stamped date.
1987 – Mark
27 November 2013
42 El Patio Street
I think there is no more appropriate name for such a thing. Bonus points if you know where this street is.
1983 – Apodaca Bros.
26 November 2013
4500 Lincoln Avenue
This Apodaca Bros. mark is unambiguous, unlike the previous one I assigned to this year.
1964 – R. G. Wolfe
25 November 2013
3508 Penniman Avenue
R. G. Wolfe kept things classy in the 1960s while all around him the old ways were falling apart.
