I have another Scaramelli mark from this year, but that’s an ordinary stamp whereas this is a fine hand-drawn mark.

The South Prescott neighborhood has some very old homes, but not many sidewalk stamps. This is one of just two worth adding here. There’s a nice 1912 Sandin & Swanson mark on Peralta Street, though.

I have another 1947 hand-drawn mark by A. J. Silva, but this one is enclosed in braces and lacks the union bug.
1938 – Dante Del Vigna

64 Sonia Street
I have another mark from this year by Dante Del Vigna, but this has a proper stamped date. This has no accent over the E in Dante, either.

This doesn’t give Dante’s first name, unlike other Del Vigna marks.
