1951

2316 12th Avenue

Carl T. Petersen started out in the late twenties. This pushes him into the fifties.

1945 – W. Brill

1939 – C. Monohan

2503 12th Avenue

This part of town is certainly rich in C. Monohan marks. I imagine his shop was nearby.

1938 – Jas. E. Wentworth

1937 – J. Bowen

Yes, J. Bowen worked three different years, not just 1936 and 1935.

1935 – W. Todd

1935

2007 12th Avenue

I have never before seen a sidewalk mark with a metal date. Eastern cities like Chicago, Buffalo and Toronto have old brass sidewalk marks, but this is the nearest to such a thing that I’ve found in Oakland.

1934 – A. Casqueiro

1934

2707 12th Avenue

A. Casqueiro marks aren’t well dated; usually a dim scratch is all you get.
