5307 Thomas Avenue
Another elegant Jas. E. Wentworth mark.
1948 – Jas. E. Wentworth

1943 – C Troja-Sisto

5430 Belgrave Place
This is an early Troja-Sisto mark. Note that he hadn’t replaced the “3” from the 1930s, three years into the forties.
1939 – F. E. Flaherty

5718 Broadway
F. E. Flaherty didn’t always use the F. or the E.; perhaps a pattern will emerge as I document more of his marks.
1938 – J. Kemble
1 January 2009
5373 Thomas Avenue
I wish J. Kemble had been more conscientious with the stamp; the arch of “Merritt (4610)” would look nice if he ever left a good mark. This one is doubled, too. Maybe he liked to drink while he worked, or had a hangover (and Happy New Year to you too).
1938 – O. C. Jones
1 January 2009
2065 Monroe Avenue
2008 – Peace

3927 Opal Street
I normally don’t collect amateur marks, but this was irresistible. There are other markings on this panel that are worth seeing, too.
Happy New Year!
