2841 Prince Street, Berkeley
I have another 1908 Burnham Co. stamp, from Oakland. This one has the “8” upside-down.
1908 – Burnham Co.
18 November 20231930 – J. H. Fitzmaurice (III)
29 September 2023
3168 McKillop Road
1925 – Riechel & Bredhoff
28 September 2023
3165 Sheffield Avenue
Among my more obscure pursuits is documenting the two varieties of the Riechel & Bredhoff stamp: the high arch and the low arch. Now I have both for this year.
1988 – Apodaca Bros.

151 Hillcrest Road, Berkeley
1952 – G. W. Griset
4 September 2023
3108 Lewiston Avenue, Berkeley
I have Griset marks from 1950 to 1958, but most of the dates are rare.
1936 – Geo. S. McMullin
28 August 2023
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.
