1941 – Frank Lopes

8 May 2013

1941tt

1939 107th Avenue

1939 – A. J. Warren

7 May 2013

1939fff

1915 107th Avenue

The owner here appears to have preserved the old mark during a repaving. That’s sweet, but there are several others on the same block.

1938 – G. Tribuzio

6 May 2013

1938yy

2242 107th Avenue

I have a G. Tribuzio mark from 1938 already, but this one is more complete.

1938 – Fischer

5 May 2013

1938xx

2121 107th Avenue

This is clearly C. Fischer, but there is no sign of the “C”.

1928 – Frank Lopes

4 May 2013

1928rrr

1906 107th Avenue

This is the earliest year I’ve found for Mr. Lopes. He seems to have wanted to make sure you knew how long his work would last.

1921 – Riechel & Bredhoff

3 May 2013

1921n

1120 Chestnut Street

This mark pushes Riechel & Bredhoff back another year.

I found this on my last visit surveying West Oakland. It has been very interesting seeing all the different streets in this part of town.

1949 – L. Scaramelli

2 May 2013

1949w

2029 Mitchell Street

My other Scaramelli mark from 1949 is one of the lovely script versions. This one is more normal.
