3250 Pleitner Avenue
1928 – W. B. Pool
31 July 20131963 – C. Valenzuela
30 July 2013
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.
1952 – Moniz & Moniz
29 July 2013
3234 Logan Street
Another lyrical hand-drawn scroll mark by Moniz & Moniz.
[Correction: I originally thought this was a 1957 mark.]
1950 – Nick Ferri
28 July 2013
3239 Lynde Street
With this mark, ten years later than any others I’ve found, the mysterious Mr Ferri finally reveals his first name and phone number.
1949 – Troy Wilson
27 July 2013
3127 Coolidge Avenue
Troy Wilson left jaunty marks.
1944 – E. H. Buel
26 July 2013
3273 Lynde Street
I think that Ensor H. Buel must have been a fun guy to be around.
1940 – W. Brill
25 July 2013
3126 Coolidge Avenue
In two and a half years of walking, this is just the seventh date I’ve found from Mr Brill.
