There are several Catucci marks still left in the block or two around this location, all of them from 1920 or 1921.

My father probably worked on this project. He was a Forman on the different jobs for his brother Joe Catucci.

Hmm, I found another at 2215 E. 29th Street, but that’s from 2-14. The phone number is on it, though.

Looks like I missed the traditional anniversary in August, but a year-end post is better anyway.

As of today (plus six posts set to drip), there are 1743 posts published on this blog. I’m still missing the following dates: 1900, 1903, 1980 and 1982.

Totals so far:

1900s: 45 items
1910s: 165 items
1920s: 318 items
1930s: 496 items
1940s: 269 items
1950s: 128 items
1960s: 42 items
1970s: 26 items
1980s: 20 items
1990s: 27 items
2000s: 29 items
2010s: 10 items

Some of these are duplicates and variations; for instance, I have four different Rosas Brothers marks for 2011, and every now and then I find a better version of a mark.

I have 178 items under “undated marks,” but for many of those, probably about 40, I have since found dated examples.

The territory I’ve covered is almost everything north of a line connecting Broadway Terrace, route 13, Park Boulevard, Beaumont Street, and 19th Avenue. Just a little bit of West Oakland awaits my visit, but every time I think about going someone gets shot there. I’ve also covered Fruitvale west of Foothill Boulevard down to High Street and west to the bay.

Found another one of these in West Oakland on Peralta Street. It’s been almost two years.
