1919 – Jepsen Bros.

1919

805 57th Street

Marks from 1919 are scarce.

1907 – Peterson & Adler

1907

5702 Genoa Street

1906 – Peterson & Adler

7 August 2011

1906

820 58th Street

This is the third 1906 Peterson & Adler mark I’ve found, and it’s by far the best preserved one by this maker, although the light doesn’t flatter it.

1971 – Brown Hot Wheel

6 August 2011

1971

Alicia Street

Alicia Street is too small to have any properties with street numbers. This appears to say something like “Brown Hot Wheel” and is dated 7/16/71.

1957 – Odell

5 August 2011

1957

857 28th Street

Odell may be an amateur; we’ll have to see.

1955 – W. Todd

4 August 2011

1955

1055 Warfield Avenue

This really looks like 1955, but the rest of W. Todd’s dates cluster in the 1930s, so I may withdraw this if other dates this don’t show up.

1947 – Riechel & Bredhoff

3 August 2011

1947

579 Kenmore Avenue
