1959 – Buddy Benton

2849 Webster Street

We’ll see if any more Buddy Benton marks show up around town.

1952 – A. Casqueiro

450 28th Street

1958 – T. J. Garvey

261 Tunnel Road

This is probably the only notable mark on Tunnel Road in Oakland; what a pleasure that it’s not only a dated T. J. Garvey mark but also my first mark at all from 1958.

1956 – C. Troja-Sisto

541 53d Street

1954 – C. Valenzuela

534 Boden Way

I found this quite by accident after I had already surveyed Boden Way, the tiny street behind Our Lady of Lourdes church. This is why I always keep my eyes, or at least one eye, on the ground.

1953 – John Astorino

546 47th Street

1957 – Paul Settle

269 East MacArthur Boulevard

Paul Settle signed his work like an amateur, but it’s a professional job.
