1929 – V. Di Zillo

5 March 2012

1929

700 block Cleveland Street

This is at the base of the back stairs of the Cleveland School. Luckily the kids and their parents didn’t notice what I was doing.

1928 – Smilie & McArthur

4 March 2012

1928

533 Spruce Street

I wasn’t sure I’d find another Smilie & McArthur mark, so this made me feel good.

1927 – Gus Johnson

3 March 2012

1927

886 Cleveland Street

This is the earliest year I’ve found so far for Gus Johnson. As with some other sidewalk contractors, the first year of business tends to have the best-made marks.

1920 – Hutchinson Co.

2 March 2012

1920

620 Brooklyn Avenue

1910 – F. E. Nelson

1 March 2012

1910

Brooklyn Avenue at Haddon Road

This is a better mark than my previous example from this year.

1940 – A. J. Warren

29 February 2012

1940

430 International Boulevard

Looks like A. J. Warren did date his marks after all.

1932 – Hennig

28 February 2012

1932

442 Foothill Boulevard

Hennig marks are kind of mysterious. What’s with the “19” in the middle—was that supposed to be for the year? All I know is that none of the three dated Hennig marks I’ve found do anything with it.
