For the longest time I couldn’t figure out how this is supposed to read. Then I found a hand-drawn mark that makes it all clear.
1917 – Sandin & Swanson

This is right next to the place I take my car, so I may have a chance to get a better shot of this scarce Sandin & Swanson mark.
1916 – The Oakland Paving Co.

1909 – Frank Salamid & Co

This superb mark is one of a pair. So far it’s the earliest Frank Salamid mark I’ve found, extending his record to 40 years.
1908 – Paul Schnoor

Unlike my other 1908 Paul Schnoor mark, this one is complete and also features a curved date.
