1929

1927 – F. Roberts

1927

221 Fairmount Avenue

Fairmount swerves through the hill between Broadway and Harrison Street and isn’t always easy to follow. The only other Roberts I’ve found is part of Bua & Roberts.

1925 – J. A. Feeley

25 December 2009

5810 Shattuck Avenue

I have another J. A. Feeley mark from this year with a different configuration.

1920 – J. B. Castellotti

1920

4650 Telegraph Avenue

Telegraph Avenue was largely paved by large, anonymous contractors, and old marks are scarce in North Oakland. This location is an empty lot today, and the mark will surely disappear when it’s developed.

1914 – Stevenson

1914

400 Elwood Avenue

Just two years after the 1912 mark, Stevenson merely scratched a date in by hand instead of using a grand date stamp.

1912 – Stevenson

1912

438 Elwood Avenue

This is very handsome, a definitive Stevenson mark.
