1936 – Geo S. McMullin

17 July 2015

1936iii

1106 88th Avenue

This is a superior strike of this date. It also shows a glitch, evident in the other example too, wherein the “6” in the date is superimposed on a “1.”

1932 – Geo. S. McMullin

16 July 2015

1932vvv

8703 A Street

This differs from previous examples in having a long dash inside the date.

Corners: Cross Road and Hays (Golden Gate) Avenue

Cross Road at Golden Gate Avenue

Long after this corner mark was laid, Hays Avenue was renamed Golden Gate Avenue.

Corners: E. 33rd Street and Stuart Street

14 July 2015

33St-stuart

Two of the four corners at this intersection above Highland Hospital have the street names marked, although the makers didn’t seem to have a letter “U.”

Other dated things: hydrant

Rusting Avenue

Once again I’ve run short of sidewalk stamps, so until I can rustle up some more here are a few special dated things. This 1956 vintage fire hydrant is up by Leona Canyon. Anybody see other hydrant makers who dated their work?

No idea who this might be, but the work is professional.

34 Montwood Way

There are several of these in the south-side gutters of Malcolm Avenue, all without the last year of the date. This is on a sidewalk, though.
