1909 – Frank Salamid & Co.

October 31, 2009

1909

449 63d Street

Even in 1909, Frank Salamid was making every one of his marks different. Compare this to the pair on 38th Street.

1908 – Burnham Co.

1908

447 62d Street

There’s an identical mark across the street at 448. This differs from the other 1908 Burnham mark on 44th Street; that one says “G. B. Burnham” whereas this says “Burnham Co.”

1904 – Berkeley Contract Co.

368 28th Street

My first mark from this year.

1901 – Peterson & Adler

1901

548 43d Street

I already have a 1901 mark from Peterson & Adler, but here’s another one. This is right at the edge of the strip of homes that was wiped out for the Grove-Shafter Freeway back in the early 1970s.

1907 – Esterly Con. Co.

June 30, 2009

1907

4120 Montgomery Street

With the demise of the 1907 Esterly mark at John and Gilbert Streets, this fine mark will carry on the standard.
