Oakland has a couple dozen marks by Jay Holt. I’ve featured two of them previously, the second cleaner than the first. This third one is pretty much pristine, showing the phone number LO 2-3369. I can’t find out anything about him.

There are only two of these in all of Oakland. This is by far the best. The other one includes all the historical info I’ve gathered on it so far.

Despite AJW leaving these marks abundantly all over Oakland, I’m missing a few recent years. I’ve probably overlooked them, or they were emplaced on blocks I surveyed several years ago. That’s why this collection of sidewalk stamps will never really end — the present never stops.
