444 Cavour Street
AJW Construction patched the sidewalks of Shafter Avenue from 51st Street to College Avenue, so this mark is abundant there. I was a little worried that they had stopped stamping their work after 2006.
2011 – AJW Construction
17 June 20131941 – Duffin & Riding
16 June 2013
2621 Hickory Street
Duffin & Riding did this entire street, so it’s likely that their well-preserved 1941 marks will never be erased. My previous example of this date was pretty precarious.
1938 – Hennig
15 June 2013
2024 Hyde Street
1937 – Frank Salamid
14 June 2013
Castello Alley
That’s my name for the nice paved pathway between Castello Street and Pleasant Street, which must be rarely used. As is my custom, I document every different configuration of stamp and date that Frank Salamid used on his marks.
1937 – Poblitz
13 June 2013
2801 Bellaire Place
Unlike my previous example, this Poblitz mark is distinct and crisp.
1937 – J. H. Colgrove
12 June 2013
3044 Logan Street
J. H. Colgrove is well represented in the Fruitvale area.
1927 – D & H
11 June 2013
3039 Fruitvale Avenue
D & H must have been a very frugal firm. Not only did they save money by not paying for all the letters of their names on this stamp, but they didn’t even spring for the full name of Fruitvale.
