357 50th Street
50th Street is short but rich in historic marks. I don’t know what “T&M” stands for in this maker’s name.

5463 Broadway
Another Sandin & Swanson mark.

5353 Miles Avenue
I am guessing that F Massaro is the same as Frank Massaro, whose undated mark is also collected here.
I originally thought this was 1914, but now I’m sure it’s 1934.

5219 Desmond Street
This hand-cut signature is unique, so far. For now I’ll identify it as a J. P. Fugel mark. This same address also features a 1912 Jepsen Bros. mark.

5435 Broadway
This is a more typical Frank Salamid & Co mark. The date appears to have been finished by hand.
One oddity about the Frank Salamid marks is that the dates appear in a variety of locations; not sure why.

471 Hudson Street
Sandin & Swanson marks are not common where I’ve been. I’m wondering if Sandin was an anglicized version of Sandini.
