1927 – V. Di Zillo

5 October 2010

1927

1328 34th Street

This pushes Di Zillo back another year.

Marshall & Goff

4 October 2010

850 6th Avenue

I’ll have to look for a better example and make sure of the name.

John F. Tulloch

3 October 2010

tulloch

3400 block of Ettie Street

This happens to be the location of John F. Tulloch contractors. I will assume that this is the Tulloch of Kelly and Tulloch.

L. B. Duffin

duffin

Stub of 23rd Avenue at East 12th Street

I already have a Duffin mark, but this one is much better, and the location is special.

2010 – Rosas Brothers

1 October 2010

2010

6212 Hillegass Avenue

It took me until late September to find a mark from the current year. Fortunately, Rosas Brothers did several jobs on this block and on 63rd Street, so the mark will endure. It’s really quite a handsome mark, worthy of the century-long heritage of Oakland sidewalk stamps.

2000 – Castellanos Concrete

30 September 2010

2000

5215 Market Street

When I first documented Castellanos Concrete, I doubted that they would use dates, but I’m happy to be proven wrong.

1949 – Jas. E. Wentworth

29 September 2010

1949

980 Apgar Street
