1932 – A. Rago

1932

524 Oakland Avenue

A. Rago is a new one for me. Notice that he turned the final 1 into a 2 by hand.

1931 – T. J. Garvey

3822 Harrison Street

This is a prize indeed: a dated T. J. Garvey mark far older than any others I’ve found, and in a different font.

1930 – Frank Salamid & Co

4210 Glen Avenue

The ever-inventive Frank Salamid used red concrete here, I think a few years after it was most popular.

1929 – National Builders of California

1929

75 Glen Avenue

It must have been a grandiose time, 1929, when a little Oakland paver could do business as National Builders of California.

1927 – Geo. D. Prentice

1925 – Tribuzio Bros.

Tribuzio Bros. marks are less common, and older, than those of the separate Tribuzios.
