The numerals are Holt’s phone number. The lettering is interesting; I would put this in the early 1920s.

Wicker marks are in pretty poor condition, but this one clearly shows the details including the address of 1457 12th Avenue, quite nearby.

This confirms that yesterday’s mark is in fact by W. D. Perine. I don’t dare guess the date, which is in the middle of this mark, but marks of this type generally predate 1920.

This is a partial mark, confirmed by another example. This apparently dates from the 1800s.

This handsome escutcheon mark reads GEo GOODMAN / OFFICE / 307 MONTY ST / SF” using those adorable raised, underlined, small caps. When MS Word does this, it’s annoying.
