Finally, I’ve found an L. B. Duffin mark with a date.
1946 – P. M. Henning

1500 block Wood Street
I thought I had mined out the whole run of P. M. Henning dates, of which I had a complete set from 1928 to 1943. But here we are with an excellent mark attesting that the firm survived the war years intact.
This forlorn mark sits in the defunct sidewalk running past the old 16th Street railroad station.
1938 – M. Cvetich

I challenge anyone to make sense of the progression of M. Cvetich stamps.

1927 – G. Ferrero

1654 16th Street
Apparently this is a new member of the Ferrero clan along with the well-known A. J. Ferrero and the poorly represented Fred Ferrero and Sons. But whereas they were based in Alameda, G. Ferrero was an Oaklander.
1926 – A. Ferrando
