The only other mark I have by this guy has his name spelled “MacLeod.”

1918 – N. J. Lindstrom

409 Merritt Avenue
This is only the second dated mark I’ve found from Lindstrom’s earliest period. He adopted a racetrack mark in 1923 or 1924 and kept it into the 1950s.
1914 – A. Soda

65th Street and Herzog Street
This tiny little corner of northernmost Oakland has some old homes and some squalor, but I’m glad I visited there.
1913 – A. Soda
21 January 2011
1194 Ocean Street
The A. Soda company was located very near here, at 1137 65th Street, and Soda marks are everywhere, but they are seldom dated. Today that address is one in a group of faceless condos.
1981 – Davis & Sons
20 January 2011
816 54th Street
I have only six marks from the 1980s, each one a different year. Every new one I find is a big occasion.
