3751 Elston Avenue
Another rare dated Fitzmaurice mark, and my best example yet from 1933.
I want to say that this block of Elston Avenue is one of Oakland’s most remarkable streets. If you’ve been there, you know.
1933 – J. H. Fitzmaurice (III)

3772 Canon Avenue
Canon Avenue is a very interesting little street just north of Dimond Park, with Sausal Creek running just behind the homes on the south side. I have to assume that it’s really Cañon Avenue.
1927 – M. Medis

1426 Allman Street
This is an interesting little street, with all or most of the houses built at the same time with the same look.
1912 – Hutchinson Co.

3644 Dimond Avenue
This is part of the Renaissance School grounds. Not only does this push Hutchinson Co. back a little earlier, it also tells me that the mark must go back to 1910 at least, because this is clearly a hand-altered 1910 stamp.

1711 Chestnut Street
This goes with a handsome home of classic West Oakland vintage.
1995 – Apodaca Bros.
22 January 2013
1015 16th Street
I stared at this one pretty good, and I’m saying it’s 1995.
