1924jj

2907 Short Street

Short Street has several different old marks by W. Pool, not to be confused with (I presume) his son G. Pool.

1923 – F. W. Metge

This is a new configuration of the Metge mark for me, and my favorite so far.

3721 Redwood Road

There are a bunch of these along lower Redwood Road.

This is the longest I’ve ever gone before finding a mark from the current year.

1947 – Cragun & Cragun

This is hand-drawn rather than stamped and was almost invisible.

12 November 2013

This differs from my previous example in having a “concrete master” bug.
