Eastshore Drive at Central Avenue, Alameda

This is Rosas Brothers’ later stamp, which they started using in 2010. As often as not, the date is hand-drawn like this one.

Lincoln Avenue at Broadway, Alameda

I took another walk in Alameda and found another year! This is Rosas Brothers’ older stamp, which they have kept updating.

1030 Lincoln Avenue, Alameda

It doesn’t feel right to finish a year without finding a stamp with that year’s date. I missed 2017 and 2018, so this is a big relief.

I haven’t seen a new Rosas Brothers mark since 2015 — in fact, I haven’t seen anything more recent than 2016 in Oakland — so this was a welcome sight indeed.

809 3rd Street, Alameda

This maker is represented in Oakland by a single undated example.
