2114 E. 30th Street
I’ve always wanted to have a “Laid By” mark, and here’s my first.
1925 – L. P. Johnson
26 February 20131920 – J. Catucci
25 February 2013
2120 E. 30th Street
This is a better example of the Catucci 1920 mark.
1915 – Alex. LaPlant
24 February 2013
1611 E. 33rd Street
This date was really hard to figure out.
1912 – Reardon-Crist Construction Co.
23 February 2013
1500 block E. 31st Street
Marks by this maker are quite scarce today, as you might imagine.
L & M Rasmussen
22 February 2013
2915 23rd Avenue
This is curious. The concrete and lettering style look quite old, from the teens or earlier, before any other mark I have by Rasmussen. But instead of “L M Rasmussen,” it clearly says L & M Rasmussen.
J. H. Fitzmaurice (II)

6130 Medau Place
I’ve documented this mark with dates from 1926 to 1940, but this post is just to document the J. H. Fitzmaurice mark as a type. As far as I know now, it’s the second type used (after the escutcheon version), but the third type (the oval text version) overlaps with it. At least two different marks followed with the barrel configuration, like this one.
2009 – B. R. Concrete
20 February 2013
6270 Merced Avenue
