1912mm

3461 Boston Avenue

This elaborate mark is in front of a venerable Victorian. Would love any insights into it and the neighborhood.

1952 – Moniz & Moniz

1952r

3903 Grand Avenue

I’ve surveyed this street before, but missed this mark. That’s why I carry my camera everywhere at all times.

1946 – W. Brill

1929 – W. B. Pool

1929ooo

3359 Arkansas Street

Now that I’m edging toward the Laurel district I seem to have entered W. B. Pool country.

1928 – J. Rodrigues

1 August 2013

1928vvv

Unlike my previous example from this year, J. Rodrigues used a new custom stamp instead of an old one with some of the words chiseled off.

1963 – C. Valenzuela

30 July 2013

1963c

3232 Galindo Street

I think that C. Valenzuela must have been located in Fruitvale, because while his marks are spread all over Oakland, they seem to be thickest on the ground here, including some hard-to-find dates.
