1940 – Hennig

1940rrrr

9949 Voltaire Avenue

My previous example from 1940 was very hazy; not this one.

1940 – C. Fischer

12 November 2015

1940tttt

10327 Shaw Street

Mr. Fischer was very inconsistent with his name.

1940 – Fischer

11 November 2015

1940ssss

2726 Frazier Avenue

I have no idea why C. Fischer had to draw the last letter with a stick.

1939 – R. W. Johnson

10 November 2015

1939llll

9871 Olive Street

Marks by R. W. Johnson are rare and vague. This is as good as they get.

1938 – Frank Lopes

9 November 2015

1938www

9811 Olive Street

I’ve recorded this date before, but here’s a strike that removes all doubt.

1933 – Lovisone

8 November 2015

1933hhh

3916 Fairway Avenue

This is a far better strike of the Lovisone mark than the previous one I documented. I can safely say it’s the best in Oakland.

1930 – Hutchinson Co.

7 November 2015

1930yyy

3858 Fairway Avenue
