1988 – Bernabe & Brinker

21 December 2011

1988

2240 Wood Street

This address was until recently Bernabe & Brinker’s business site. I don’t expect to see this mark anywhere else, but there are two of them here.

1976 – Apodaca Bros.

20 December 2011

1976

1411 35th Avenue

This pins down the date when Apodaca Bros. changed from the straight text (see 1975) to their current oval mark.

1953 – Andrade

19 December 2011

1953

1660 35th Avenue

1951 – Frank Cizek

18 December 2011

1951

1748 35th Avenue

I haven’t sighted a Frank Cizek mark in quite a while.

1947 – C. A. Heldt

17 December 2011

1947

1709 35th Avenue

C. A. Heldt is a new maker for me.

1945 – C. Valenzuela

16 December 2011

1945

3505 E. 16th Street

A very nice date from C. Valenzuela using all four digits.

1930 – J. Widel

15 December 2011

1930

3500 block E. 15th Street

I have two similar marks, one “J. Widel” from 1931 and the other “J. Widell” from 1959.
