1935 – J. Bowen

15 April 2009

1935

362 Cavour Street

J. Bowen was very busy in 1936, to judge by the number of marks I’ve seen from that year, but 1935s are rare.

1934 – Riechel & Bredhoff

1934

5125 Miles Avenue

Riechel & Bredhoff marks are scarce, but the work is of high quality. I’ll bet there are a lot of these around Alameda.

1932 – J. Devoto

1932

Clifton Street and James Avenue

1932 – G. W. Hickman

1932

5301 Claremont Avenue

This is right outside the office of John S. Allen, “Junk-Mail John,” a Farmers agent who keeps sending me junk mail trying to get me to switch to him. I don’t know if “G.W.Hickman.” was the property owner or the concrete master, but I’ll tag this with his name anyway.

1924 – F. E. Nelson

1924

1922 – M. E. Valente

Miles is particularly rich in sidewalk stamps.

1921 – J. B. Castellotti
