1914 – M. Soares & Co.

1914dd

E. 24th Street at 19th Avenue

1914 – Sandin & Swanson

26 March 2013

1914cc

2021 E. 24th Street

The date configuration differs from my other example from 1914.

1913 – A. B. Clark Co.

1912 – Ogden & Utterback

24 March 2013

1912ii

2601 Wakefield Avenue

Ogden is surely G. Ogden of Fruitvale. Utterback is a name I haven’t run into before. This date is before any of my other Ogden marks.

1998 – Noskie Sweets and Tiara

1998d

9601 Coral Road

The north side of the Columbian Gardens neighborhood is a gridiron of streets full of 1940s-era bungalows, and more guard dogs than I’ve ever seen. The only other mark to be seen here is an abundant, undated mark by Frank Brown.

1937 – T. A. Ryan

22 March 2013

1937ppp

2430 E. 28th Street

T. A. Ryan surprises me here with a stamp I haven’t seen before. This gives him, I think, four different configurations he used.

1936 – Geo. S. McMullin

1935oo

3010 Sheffield Avenue
