Good list. Some stations had names, some had numbers, some had letters. May hold a clue or two regarding the location of various photos, including those with the decorative tiles. For example, Station No. 13 was 5207 Hollywood.

West LA Station was at 1544 Purdue. Could this nondescript storefront have sold stamps during the depression?

1620 N Highland would have been near Max Factor (1666) and across for Hollywood High?

LAPL is often correct, but no body is perfect! (Occasionally the mail gets misdelivered to the Sackett address instead of 1728 Ivar. )
