723 61st Street
Unlike the other 1931 Lovisone mark I have, this one’s date is way out of whack.
1931 – Lovisone
5 June 20111921 – F. A. Mero
4 June 2011
6319 Idaho Street
F. A. Mero has two marks here, the other one on the corresponding block of Baker Street.
1914 – Kaus Bros.
3 June 2011
6312 Herzog Street
A new maker for me, Kaus Bros. Allendale Avenue is the heart of the Allendale neighborhood in East Oakland, just downhill from the Laurel.
1912 – E. L. George
2 June 2011
6322 Baker Street
This is right up next to the Berkeley line.
1912 – J. C. Estey
1 June 2011
6250 Baker Street
I have an Estey mark already documented, but this is a much better example. Baker Street has about a dozen of these, so that’s where to go to see them. It’s a nice street in the Golden Gate district.
1912 – Jepsen Bros.
31 May 2011
6172 Baker Street
I have a 1912 mark from Jepsen Bros., but this one has the date upside-down.
1905 – R. H. Hahn
30 May 2011
1042 63rd Street
Here’s another example of the mysterious mark I found on Alcatraz earlier this year. Now it’s revealed as a unique crescent design, but I couldn’t decipher the name until I found “Robt H” Hahn in the directory. He was listed that year as living at 3043 Grove Street (now MLK Way).
It appears that the R and the N are reversed. Perhaps a better example will turn up in Berkeley.
