4606 Fairbairn Avenue
I have McMullin marks dated from 1931 to 1936, and except for the hand-drawn dates, every one appears to modify a 1931 stamp. A mark I previously identified as a 1935 mark is actually just like this, a 1936 mark. Fortunately I also have a hand-drawn mark from 1935, so that year is still represented on Oakland sidewalks.

Normally I wouldn’t bother with a mark this poor, but it establishes that Mottino used a proper metal stamp for the date as well as hand-writing dates.
2915 Acton Street, Berkeley
This stamp, yet another example of Mero’s marks that year, is a nice pulled-together piece that gives his city as Richmond. Not many Richmond masons practiced this far south.
29 Tanglewood Street, Berkeley
The date on this mark differs from my Oakland example. The numerals appear to have been impressed one at a time. Clearly there were several stamps that went out with the crews, some with nice dates and others with makeshift dates.
This part of Berkeley is exceptionally opulent, and peaceful despite being right near the Claremont traffic/business nexus.
335 63rd Street
This driveway, and presumably the sidewalk too, was originally made by the J. Catucci firm in 1916. When Rosas Brothers redid parts of this block in 2010, they appear to have kindly preserved the older stamp on behalf of the homeowner.
I need to prepare a Profile for Joseph Catucci; until then the comments to this post have a good amount of detail from his descendants.
This corner, one of two thus marked, is also a splendid example of a dated Schnoor Bros. stamp, unlike my previous example from just down the block.
