673 Poirier Street
I’ve found three 1901s and four 1907s by this maker; finally here’s a 1906.
1906 – Peterson & Adler
14 February 20111952 – Nat Lena
13 February 2011
West Street at Sycamore Street
This is the same tiny triangle I mentioned two posts back.
1940 – K. Rubenstein & Sons
12 February 2011
2800 San Pablo Avenue
This is in the driveway of the large Rubenstein Supply Company building. This tight-knit family company, founded by three Oakland brothers in 1940, undoubtedly did a lot of their own work when they built the place.
1931 – Geo. D. Prentice Jr.
11 February 2011
West Street at Sycamore Street
The address is a tiny triangle with a defunct hotdog stand on it. This is the first Geo. D. Prentice Jr. mark I have found, and it differs in not having the address “2207 13th Ave” above the city name. Oddly, the Geo. D. Prentice no-Junior company continues past this year, at least to 1932.
1927 – V. B. DeCarlo
10 February 2011
608 23rd Street
1959 – Angelo C. Sposeto
9 February 2011
1096 53rd Street
This address is an intriguing large fenced-off lot right on San Pablo. The rare date and rare maker just make it more tantalizing.
1952 – Chas. Somers & Sons
8 February 2011
1072 53rd Street
