There are more of these in the Haddon Hill area; maybe I’ll find one with a date.

Sorry about the image quality, but the mark itself isn’t very crisp either. Notice the backwards “C.”

This block lies between the tracks and the freeway, but it’s not totally forlorn. There are a few sweet Victorians and very small enterprises here amid the noise and haste. And I’m a sucker for contractors who were proud to be in Fruitvale, not just Oakland.

Tis & Tony were probably sweethearts, back then, rather than contractors. But you never know.

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

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