Lower Fruitvale somewhere; unfortunately I’ve lost the address.
The address establishes this as J. Rodrigues, and it explains the weird configuration of the 1928 Rodrigues mark as the result of a breakup with Mr. Souza.
Rodrigues & Souza
5 October 20111969 – A-1 Able
4 October 2011
1233 Derby Avenue
1957 – C. Valenzuela
3 October 2011
3011 E. 16th Street
The mark is shallow and dim, but it’s definitely a “5 – 57” mark.
1949 – C. Valenzuela
2 October 2011
E. 16th Street at 34th Avenue
This mark establishes C. Valenzuela in the 1940s, making the 1938 mark a little less outrageous.
1947 – Doyle L. Hallum
1 October 2011
1848 Fruitvale Avenue
Doyle L. Hallum is a new name for me.
1947 – Gallagher & Burk
30 September 2011
1400 block 31st Avenue
There are four marks on this lot, all of them consistent with a 1947 date.
1944 – F. M. Brown
29 September 2011
1555 34th Avenue
This must be Frank M. Brown, using his initials. The mark is very dim.
