1939 – C. Fisher (Fischer)

1939jjjj

1832 102nd Avenue

The inconsistent C. Fischer spelled his name “Fisher” in 1938, too.

1936 – F. E. Flaherty

1936mmm

1744 101st Avenue

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.

1999 – Postin

Plymouth Avenue at 102nd Avenue

This looks like “Postin” so that’s what I’ll call it.
