16th Street at Poplar Street

This is an undamaged example of the year and maker.

1108 Wellington Street

The 1970s are a real black hole in Oakland sidewalk stamps. I blame Richard Nixon. This is the first legitimate stamp I’ve found from 1971 (but do check out the other two I’ve found). Fortunately, this block has several of these, so it won’t soon go extinct.

1968 – A. J. Ferrero

1123 El Centro Avenue

This beautiful example, one of many on this block, is an upgrade to the sketchy one I recorded in August.

1964 – C. Valenzuela

1964

1115 Clarendon Crescent

Yes, I recorded this year before, but that was one of the most wretched marks I’ve ever deciphered. Even this mark is better than that one.

1939 – W. Todd

1939

4360 Edgewood Avenue

I’ve documented this year before, but that one was questionable and this is certainly not.
