1932 103rd Avenue
This splendid specimen includes the day and month. In fact, this is the first and only Valenzuela mark I’ve found that he stamped with the day and month (he hand-wrote one in 1959).
1939 – C. Valenzuela

The inconsistent C. Fischer spelled his name “Fisher” in 1938, too.
1936 – F. E. Flaherty

This mark shows how carefully F. E. Flaherty did his handiwork, drawing a guideline and using a straight tool of some sort. Only the curves threw him. Oddly, just a few weeks earlier he used a different technique and had no trouble. His work was fine, but his brand wasn’t very good. I think he should have kept his old racetrack-format stamp instead of giving it up in 1935, but maybe it was stolen or something.

I have a “J + J / Moniz” mark, but this one definitely has the extra “+” in it, whatever that means.
