221 Athol Avenue

M. Dias

350 Lester Avenue

This is a large driveway signature from East Oakland’s M. Dias.

C. T. Maguire

Andrew — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:12:15 +0000

1502 3rd Avenue

This shows more detail than the first Maguire mark: periods in the name, and what look like six-pointed stars.

1977 – Roy Kendall

Andrew — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:05:19 +0000

2200 block Magnolia Street

After all this time, it’s rare that I document a new year. Now I’m missing only 1973 from this decade and just three other years to go since 1901: 1903, 1980 and 1982.

1943 – M. Cvetich

Andrew — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:03:03 +0000

1163 24th Street

1941 – Nick Tribuzio

Andrew — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 08:09:53 +0000

1124 10th Avenue

I already have a mark from this year by Nick Tribuzio, but this one is perfect, allowing you to admire its asymmetries.

1939 – J. H. Fitzmaurice

Andrew — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:09:06 +0000

E. 11th Street at 5th Avenue

Another rare dated Fitzmaurice mark.

1934 – J. C. Vieira

Andrew — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:07:33 +0000

1111 11th Avenue

I’m glad this unique address has a noteworthy sidewalk stamp.

1931 – Geo. D. Prentice

Andrew — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 08:06:13 +0000

1100 block 10th Avenue
