2725 E. 16th Street
Another year for the short-lived J. Catucci firm.
1919 – J. Catucci
24 October 20111912 – A. B. Clark Co.
23 October 2011
2540 E. 15th Street
A. B. Clark is the twentieth different sidewalk contractor I’ve identified from 1912, the climax year of that decade.
Riding
22 October 2011
E. 16th Street at 27th Avenue
I can’t tell what comes before “Riding,” but it’s clearly not George so I’ll leave it at that.
C. F. Lund
21 October 2011
1515 25th Avenue
This is my first mark from a contractor with an East Oakland address. If anyone knows when “Old County Road” lost its name, we can get a sense of how old this is. My first guess is that this dates from around 1910.
B. Pina
20 October 2011
1433 27th Avenue
The mysterious B. Pina appears to have scratched a date in the center field of this example, which is the second I’ve found.
1948 – C. Valenzuela
19 October 2011
1439 29th Avenue
As I suspected, Fruitvale looks like it’s a hotbed of early C. Valenzuela marks.
1937 – Aaron Dahlquist
18 October 2011
1511 29th Avenue
Cute date made with nail holes, I would guess.
