J. Mottino marks with dates are as rare as hen’s teeth, but the day I found this I found a second one, giving me a total of three so far.
1918 – J. Mottino
22 August 20101918 – Avelar & Co.
21 August 2010
897 45th Street
1917 – The Oakland Paving Co.
20 August 2010
1051 42nd Street
This mark is unusual in having the month as well as the year.
1914 – Alex. LaPlant
19 August 2010

Alex LaPlant marks are more common in Alameda, where the contractor was located. I thank Kevin Collins of Flickr for documenting Alameda marks, without which I would be hard pressed to read this.
1913 – G. B. Castellotti
18 August 2010
846 42nd Street
There’s another beautiful example of this mark at 868 Arlington Avenue.
1912 – J. Fugel

1912 – Esterly

A hand-drawn Esterly mark, without the “Con. Co.”.
