629 18th Street

I’ve mentioned my fascination with 1955 before. This is only the third mark I’ve found with that date so far.

1950 – J. Barale

689 20th Street

This mark completes my set extending from 1946 to 1955. We’ll see if that range can be extended.

1946 – Hal H. Bennett

This is the first example of the Bennett oval I’ve found with a properly stamped date in it.

San Pablo has very few sidewalk marks, like most of Oakland’s major streets.
