1915 – J. Ogden

28 October 2013

1915t

3630 Brookdale Avenue

This stretch of Brookdale is quite historic, with much of its sidewalks laid down in the teens.

1981 – Apodaca Bros.

1981c

3631 Nevil Street

1956 – Steadman & Powell Inc.

26 October 2013

1956l

2401 Harrington Avenue

I am excited by this modest mark, which not only gives me my first date for the Steadman & Powell firm, but also a third configuration: a rare thirties-style mark, the standard block style and this one, which denotes the team as an incorporated firm.

1955 – B. Pina

25 October 2013

1955k

3572 Gray Street

With this mark, I finally have a date for this guy.

1949 – G. Pool

24 October 2013

1949z

2162 Harrington Avenue

1948 – Nick Ferri

23 October 2013

1948w

2029 Crosby Avenue

This mark shows that Nick Ferri began using his first name before 1950. I still have an eight-year gap in the record to fill between 1948 and 1940.

1944 – Frank Salamid

22 October 2013

1944u

2000 block 36th Avenue

As always, Frank Salamid marks have no standard configuration. Compare this to my other example from 1944.
