It’s a shame that Fitzmaurice didn’t use this mark more; it may be my favorite.
1927 – Douglas & Wolfe

This sets a new earliest date for the Douglas & Wolfe mark.
1926 – J. H. Fitzmaurice (II)

Finding this made for a memorable day the afternoon I tramped the hills of Grand Lake. Dated Fitzmaurice marks are rare as hen’s teeth, and this is an entirely distinct variety of the mark. Indeed, a 1928 mark appeared during that same walk, which you’ll see on the 17th.
1926 – C. Davis

Amazingly, this is readable as C. Davis, 1926, Fruitv.
I’m very interested in learning about the usage of “Fruitvale” as an address. As I move into Fruitvale I hope to find more examples.
1924 – Frank Salamid

Haven’t found too many new Frank Salamid marks lately.
