1915 – The Oakland Paving Co.

1915

385 50th Street

1915 – Oak. Concrete T&M Co.

2 September 2008

1915

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.

1915 – Sandin & Swanson

1915

5463 Broadway

Another Sandin & Swanson mark.

1934 – J. Triberti & F. Massaro

31 August 2008

1914

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.

1914 – J. P. Fugel

31 August 2008

1914

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.

1914 – Frank Salamid

31 August 2008

1914

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.

1913 – Sandin & Swanson

29 August 2008

1913

471 Hudson Street

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