1769 82nd Avenue

8200 block Holly Street

A new name for me.

1970 81st Avenue

I’ve waited a long time to find this date. With one from 1933, I’ll have the full set.

1651 80th Avenue

A variant of the Rasmussen mark with a handwritten date.

Rodrigues made a special point of scratching in his new address, which he adopted some time after June 18 of this year. By November 26, he was using a stamp with the new address in metal. The odd thing is, both addresses appear to be the same corner lot at Orral and 73rd.
