1930 – Carl T. Petersen

The invisible C. Monohan strikes again. I found several dated Monohan marks in the Bella Vista neighborhood.
1929 – H. C. Orth

934 E. 18th Street
1928 – L. M. Rasmussen (Co.)
17 May 2012
1029 E. 18th Street
This is cool: unlike earlier Rasmussen marks, which use this same outline, this one includes the letters “CO” next to the date. And the earliest of Rasmussen Co’s “High Baghdad” marks also dates from 1928. So this documents an important date in L. M. Rasmussen’s career.
1928 – A. Ferrando

1947 – J & J General Contractor
15 May 2012
1820 9th Avenue
This hand-drawn mark reads, “J&J General Contrs” with the contractor license number beneath the right side, two phone numbers beneath that, and the date at the bottom.
1945 – R. G. Wolfe
14 May 2012
9th Avenue at Foothill Boulevard
This mark fits between Douglas & Wolfe 1940 and Wolfe 1949. Clearly Douglas left the partnership in one way or another, and R. G. Wolfe chiseled his name off the old stamp before he could have a new one made. This stamp also shows that the partnership started in the 1920s. A lot of information in one spot.
