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.

1942 – Dan Doyle Concrete

21 October 2013

1942z

2011 Crosby Avenue

I have another Dan Doyle mark from this year, but that one has the date inside rather than below the mark.

1938 – J. Rodrigues

20 October 2013

1938ddd

2527 Harrington Avenue

1936 – J. C. Vieira

19 October 2013

1936xx

1932 Crosby Avenue

There are three Vieiras on Oakland’s sidewalks. J. C. Vieira came before and after F. C. Vieira, and of the mysterious J. R. Vieira I have just one example with no date.

1934 – L. Scaramelli

18 October 2013

1934ss

3576 Harper Street

1930 – J. Rodrigues

17 October 2013

1930ddd

2505 Harrington Avenue

I have another example from this date, but it doesn’t include the address in the middle and the date is handwritten.
