1815 105th Avenue

If I have a stamped mark and a hand-drawn mark by the same maker from the same year, I’ll document them both.

1927 105th Avenue

1930 – J. Kemble

10520 Beverly Avenue

J. Kemble is messing with our heads.

1929 – Heafey-Moore Co.

E. 22nd Street at Mitchell Street

A new maker! There are several of these at this intersection.

1929 – A. Casqueiro

1815 105th Avenue

I’ve documented this year before, but this mark is much clearer and I have no ambivalence about it.

1927 – Frank Lopes

1833 106th Avenue

This early mark by Frank Lopes is quite handsome, I think.

1921 – L. M. Rasmussen

Andrew — Sat, 11 May 2013 08:09:54 +0000

1832 105th Avenue

Unlike my previous 1921 Rasmussen mark, this one is not broken.

1911 – Nelson-Johnson Co.

Andrew — Fri, 10 May 2013 08:07:41 +0000

2601 E. 22nd Street

An unexpected bit of history.

Frank Massaro

Andrew — Thu, 09 May 2013 08:03:45 +0000

2139 107th Avenue

This block has several marks from Massaro, whose solo marks (probably from after his stint as part of Triberti & Massaro, in the 1940s) are rare and always undated. This is the best of the bunch, and probably the best in the city.
