1942 – J. Widell

6 April 2015

1942bbb

7400 Halliday Avenue

Unlike my previous example from this year, this appears to be carefully hand-drawn rather than stamped.

1940 – A. J. Warren

5 April 2015

1940jjjj

7400 block Krause Avenue

My previous example from this year was pretty bad; this one’s pretty good.

1940 – L. Banchero

4 April 2015

1940iiii

7620 Holly Street

Another good print of a date I’ve shown here before.

1939 – A. J. Warren

3 April 2015

1939dddd

2343 Dashwood Avenue

A. J. Warren did several of the homes here, and General Con. Co. did most of the rest. This mark differs from others I’ve recorded from 1939 in that it shows the full year without adding the month.

1932 – L. Banchero & Co.

2 April 2015

1932sss

7521 Weld Street

Now that I’m approaching Banchero’s home territory I’m finding excellent strikes of dates I’ve previously documented.

1930 – F. Gualco

1 April 2015

1930uuu

7333 Weld Street

There are a few people with this name in the city directories around 1930, but none labeled cement workers or at this address. No F. Gaulcos in the newspapers, either.

1927 – H. C. Orth

31 March 2015

1927ppp

7514 Arthur Street

This strike is so good that the association oval is readable: it says “Cement Contractors Association / Member / Alameda County”
