1952 – Moniz & Moniz

4 August 2013

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

3 August 2013

1946x

3412 Suter Street

1929 – W. B. Pool

2 August 2013

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.

1928 – W. B. Pool

1928uuu

3250 Pleitner Avenue

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.

1952 – Moniz & Moniz

29 July 2013

1957k

3234 Logan Street

Another lyrical hand-drawn scroll mark by Moniz & Moniz.

[Correction: I originally thought this was a 1957 mark.]
