I don’t know why there is a letter “T” before the date. The 16th of November 1926 was a Monday, not a day beginning with a T. And the final digits are confusing, too, but I felt them out with my fingers as well as photographing them up close.
1918 – G. B. Castellotti

4209 West Street
Marks from 1918 are pretty rare.
West Street is interesting. Like 40th Street, its sidewalks were trimmed back from the street when the roadway was widened, probably for the streetcar lines. As a result there are few sidewalk stamps left on it compared to the side streets.
1912 – P. Ryan

Another mark by the clumsy P. Ryan. In this case he left off the “C” in “CAL.”
1907 – Peterson & Adler

737 44th Street
This and yesterday’s mark are on the same block. I may be silly for doing this, but I’m documenting every mark I find from before 1910, so you will find duplicates.

J. Kemble marks are everywhere, but this one is pristine and robust.
