1923 – L. M. Rasmussen

1923

International Boulevard at Miller Avenue

This is my first example of a Rasmussen mark that’s clear enough to see the last letter, which is reversed.

1923 – Riechel & Bredhoff

1 November 2011

1923

2300 block E. 15th Street

This pushes Riechel & Bredhoff back another year.

1985 – Young Man Dave

1985

2412 E. 16th Street

Young Man Dave is probably Middle-Aged Dave these days.

1951 – L. Scaramelli

1951

1767 28th Avenue

1941 – Ransome Company

29 October 2011

1941

1649 28th Avenue

It’s nice to finally get a crisp example from this company.

1939 – J. Triberti & F. Massaro

28 October 2011

1939

1814 28th Avenue

So many Triberti & Massaro marks are indistinct, and even the good ones are rarely dated, so I’m always glad to find a new date.

1936 – F. E. Flaherty

1936

28th Avenue at International Boulevard
