54St-Park(Gaskill)

54th Street at Gaskill Street

Some time between 1912 and 1936, Park Street had its name changed to Gaskill Street, but they left the concrete alone.

Once again I’ve run short of sidewalk stamps. For a few days I’ll be running some special marks that have caught my eye during my long survey of Oakland sidewalks.

98th Avenue at San Leandro Boulevard

This is actually part of the railroad tracks, but I walked on it so that’s good enough for me.

By this late in his career, J. Widell’s hand-drawn script was looking old-fashioned.

Duffin marks are more common than L. B. Duffin marks, but fewer of them are dated.
